¶ Gunbrawl
Gunbrawl is a local multiplayer 2d side scroller shooter made by AndrewIGD in which your objective is to eliminate everyone on the map. The game features a lot of weapons, 2 maps, and customizable gameplay.
¶ Game summary
Upon launching the game, the user is met with the login screen. This is now unfunctional, so the player may press "Play Offline".
After that, the user is greeted by 3 buttons: "Play Game", "Bomb Defusal" and "Controls".!
"Bomb Defusal" takes the user to a very early build of a gamemode that was supposed to be similar to IGDShooter's Bomb Defusal, but it never was released.
"Controls" in the current build that supports 6 players, is no longer functional.
¶ Lobby
Upon pressing "Play Game", you are sent to the lobby. Here, players who want to play may join, and then customize their character.
The character can be customized in 2 ways. You can either change his avatar, or change his color. With 9 characters and 16 colors, there are exactly 144 different combinations.
After everybody customizes their characters, someone using the keyboard may press Space to continue. After that the user should press 1 or 2 to select the map.
¶ In-Game
After selecting a map, all players are placed on a platform. The players can immediatly start moving, while chests are falling down from the sky. If a player touches one of these chests, they are instantly given a new weapon, unless they have a full inventory. One of these weapons can be:
- Deagle
- Awp
- Bizon
- Negev
- Ak
- Flamethrower
- Nova
- Knife
- HE
- Flash
Players cannot be killed by any of these weapons, but they are pushed back by getting hit. When getting hit, your damage increases, meaning you will be pushed back even further, until eventually reaching one of the 4 sides of the screen, which will kill you.
Each player has 5 lives, and the last one standing wins.
¶ Memes
¶ Flamethrower
Initially, the flamethower would create a lot of lag in the span of 1 to 2 seconds. This would make the game unplayable, and thus, mark Gunbrawl as one of the worst games ever made by AndrewIGD. This meme may be used when somebody is talking about low fps.
Example usage:
- Person 1: Dude, red dungeon in Dungeon Elites is so poorly optimized, it's unplayable!
- Person 2: Flamethrower wants to know your location
¶ Flamethrower/Negev spam
Secondly, the flamethrower is also known as a broken weapon. The reason for this is because of how fast the gun shoots, making the player unable to move, jump, shoot or even dodge. This leads to a very easy kill, and it's generally a hated weapon among the Deprimus group. The same thing can also be applied to the negev. This meme may be used when talking about strategy or meta in a game.
Example usage:
- Person 1: I've played so much Gunbrawl recently, I've mastered all of the recoil patterns, you really have no chance against me!
- Person 2: haha, flamethrower go brrrr
¶ Trivia
-
Gunbrawl is not the first game made by AndrewIGD, but it is the first game that was showed off at school.
-
One time, Andrew and Pebly wanted to port the game to multiplayer. The furthest they've gotten was to a login screen, and upon logging, it would display "Hello (username)". They got stuck at sharing the player's location, and they never continued.
-
It is said that during map selection, pressing 3 on the keyboard to select a supposedly third map was possible. It is said the map only features a black screen, but plays a pretty catchy Tetris remix.
-
AndrewIGD still thinks the game is good.
