Everlong - Global Game Jam 2012

This is the game that i made with my friends at global game jam 2012. You can play with just one xbox controller but the idea is to play with 4 players.

Short Introduction: You are one of four slime-like creatures that are trapped on a planet, your mission is to defeat the other three and prevail. The game can end real quickly or last an eternity. It all depends on you.
Platform/System: Windows
Mac OS X+
Web browser with plugins (Unity player, Torque,...)
Platform note: Play with the Xbox 360 controller!
Brief Play Description:
By now you need 4 Xbox Controllers to play! We are working on a single / two / three player version

You control one of four primordial slimes and must dominate your plane of existence by eliminating the other three.

As of the current state of the game, you must have four xbox controllers connected simultaneously to your machine to play.

All the players begin with three lives each, which are taken out by a melee or ranged hit.
When a player loses all of his lives, he is destroyed but not defeated, he merely enters a "cloud" state and his body is scattered around the entire planet.

In the cloud state the player must gather the pieces of his body back, but, everytime the player enters this cloud state, he must grab an additional piece of his body, making it progressively harder to return. Also, as an advantage to it, everytime the player returns, he is granted an additional life, keeping it balanced like this: The more you die, the harder it is for you to return, but when you return, you are stronger, as in the concept of the Ouroboros, where you are always in a cycle of evolution, and keep coming back to yourself, leading to a constant continuity and eternal return.

The player who manages to stay alone on the planet for once wins.
