# MULTIPLAYER SPLAT! A multiplayer party version of the classic game Splat!, originally written by Ian Andrew and published by Incentive. Programmed by Stephen Smith (stephen.carlylesmith@googlemail.com). Twitter: @stephencsmith Gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0j9mCXQdYw ## Instructions * Up to 4 players compete in one of 3 game modes. * Get the highest score by collecting the grass and plums (I think they're plums?) * You must avoid walkng into the brick wall on the edge of the screen. ## Game Modes * Last Man Standing: Each player has one life. Whoever has the highest score at the end wins. * Highest Score at the end: All players have infinite lives. Whoever has the highest score at the end is the winner. If you get killed, your score is halved. * Original: Each player has 3 lives. Whoever has the highest score at the end wins. ## Controls * Keyboard: Either "W, A, D and Space", or "Q, O, P and Space" * Z to toggle zoom out - see the whole map on one screen * Should work with most controllers * F11 - Toggle full screen * Esc - quit ## Running on a Mac Since the app is not signed for a Mac (I don't even have a Mac), it shows "Application from unidentified developer" or even "Application is damaged and cannot Be opened" on first start. Try to open you game with Ctrl+Right Click and then Open. If it's not helping, open Terminal, enter "sudo xattr -cr /Path/To/MultiplayerSplat.app" and then open your game.
