spocchio Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Psi2d is a minimal extendible multiplayer 2D platformer shooting browser game. Following this old guide from valve, multiplayer games must cope with delays and the client must evolve the world while waiting for server's updates: for this reason the game is made with node.js. HTML client and node.js server are capable of sharing the same codebase ❤. I had the idea of a 2D multiplayer shooting gain back in 2008, inspired by Commander Keen. I did some trials in Java but didn't manage to make anything interesting. Then I re-started the project as a HTML/JS browser game and decided to leave it open source:) It is slim, lightweight and minimal. I wanted to make it mobile-friendly so this (so far: but I am open to changes) is a "one-button-game": you can run and shoot with touch only. On mobiles: swipe on the lower side of canvas to move and jump; tap on the upper side of the canvas to shoot. On desktops: WAD/arrows/space to move; click to fire. The game is easily expandible and it is possible to add new kind of elements, level and player skills. So far there is only one level (made with Tiled Map Editor with tiles from kenney.nl. And four characters with assets from gameart2d.com and four characters.
