What is Mega Mash Mix: The Game? Continue reading to find out!
1 Platform Fighter
Mega Mash Mix is a platform fighter similar to super smash brothers. It is a 2D space
where characters are pit against one another on platforms. I imagine we all
understand the "platform fighter" concept here. But the concepts we
will expand on here will be ones that differentiate this game from what smash
has taught us to expect.
2 How You Die
What separates this game from other a game like smash is the main game mode has
both Percentages which effect how far attacks hit you.
And... Hit points! Yep hit Points are a part of the main game mode! You get to
zero and you die! And these two things, the percentage and hit points, work in
tandem.
So as you get hit you lose hit points. Each character has a different max hit
points but every character percentage is handled in a ratio between the current
hit points and the max. In our game the character have the same weight, but
this difference in ratio is how heavier characters live longer.
3 Mashing
So instead of smash attacks like in SSB we have "mash" attacks this
is inspired by the name of the game. By rapidly tapping a button you can turn a
weak fast attack into a strong but slower one. Generally there are 3 stages of
the mash attacks:
"Tap!" which is comparable to a jab
"Mash!!" a series of taps, usually 2-3, in a row will change the
attack's animation into a stronger move
"Mega Mash!!!" 4 or more taps in a row will activated a whole new
animation, one of the characters strongest moves.
Another big difference is that while in our game you only have neutral, up, and
down angled attacks, both in the air and on the ground every character has
access to mash and mega mash versions of all of these attacks, that’s at least
18 different basic attacks for each character!
4 Focus
Another defining point of the game is the focus system. In our game each character
has a special focus meter that expands on some aspect of the character unique
to them. Some grow over time, some change periodically, and other change once
certain criteria are met.
5 Specials
So this is where things get similar again! Our game has character defining special
attacks too! Our moves specials can be mashed as well! And though while
typically you won't see big changes in the animations there are still changes
on the effectiveness or utilities the specials provide. Also note most of the
specials are affected by the character's focus gauge as well in some way.
6 Characters
IN Mega Mash Mix the characters are actually various characters from fictional
comics I’ve thought up over the years, and eventually hope to produce in the
future. It’s a fun way to give fans a taste of what’s to come from future
LessThanPi Art products. And to be honest it is a fun and safe way I can
explore my OWN characters in a safe way too.
