We keep working on our great update for Sugar Mess - Let’s Play Jolly Battle! Here are the intermediate results for Multiplayer: Arena Single Player and Co-Op mode.
Arena
The classic solo or multiplayer modes are available on the Arena Mode. The primary objective is to defend the Sweet land diligently, fending off opponents’ attacks. Each wave of opponents presents a different challenge, with the difficulty escalating as the player successfully repels more waves. Repelling a certain number of wave attacks entitles the player to valuable rewards.
Here is how we worked on the UI for this mode:
The arena zone has several key elements:
- Active Zone:
Positioned at the center of the arena, this area features teleportation spots for movement, areas for fortifications, and stations for weapon recharging. The active zone remains constant throughout the gameplay.
- Chunks:
These are designated land areas encircling the active zone, from which cake mobs launch their attacks. Chunks constantly shift, and each one features different terrain, biome, and object arrangements, adding to the game's dynamic nature.
Here is a work-in-progress look of chunks.
Single-player mode
In the game, a player is placed in the center of the Arena, the main play area. Their objective is to safeguard the boundaries of their zone from cake attacks.
Co-op mode
In the co-op mode, players have the option to join existing rooms hosted by others or create their own rooms and invite fellow players.
In co-op mode, progressing through the Arena remains similar to solo play, with one key difference: all cake mobs get stronger, including increased damage and HP percentage. In solo play, cake mobs spawn from 2 sides, whereas in multiplayer mode, they are flying from 4 sides, intensifying the challenge for players in cooperative gameplay.
Stay tuned for more updates!
