Ah yes, a Mixed Arcade suggestion. Something you wouldn’t expect from me, eh? Anyways, I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea.
What is Boom Towers?
Hive has a little selection of items known as “Boomboxes” in some of their games. We all love them, right? Well, this game is all about boomboxes. Around the map, there are these towers that are randomly spawned in at certain locations. Only 5 towers can be active at once. Essentially, the goal of this game is to destroy the most towers in under 5 minutes. How do you destroy these towers? Its pretty self-explanatory. You throw a boombox at them. Once you throw your boombox though, you will have to wait 6 seconds to get another one. PvP is also enabled as a method for players to prevent other players from destroying a tower that they want to destroy. However, getting kills isn’t really a necessity in this game. As the title says, the goal of the game is to destroy the most towers. Of course, players would need to start out with some items. So, here are the items players spawn with…
- Stone Sword
- Boombox
- 3 Gapples
So that’s basically it for the idea, right? Actually, no. Around the map, there are also randomly spawned power-ups to collect. Adding items such as power-ups mixes up the game a little bit and adds more variety & fun. Here’s a list for the power-ups that you will be able to find in this game…
- Leap Feather (1/4 chance of being the power-up spawned in) (Works the same as in DeathRun)
- Speed Bottle (1/5 chance of being the power-up spawned in) (Gives the user speed 2 for 8 seconds)
- Tower Tracker (1/6 chance of being the power-up spawned in) (Points towards the nearest tower for 8 seconds before it runs out of power)
- Instant Boombox (1/7 chance of being the power-up spawned in) (Deals 4 hearts of damage once it hits the ground or a player. It cannot destroy a tower, however)
Keep in mind that you can only have 1 power-up active at once. If you run into another power-up, that power-up you have will be replaced.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I think this would be a great game to include in the upcoming Mixed Arcade. Its something simple, but unique and fun at the same time. Anyways, what do you think? If you like this idea, feel free to vote. If not, well… don’t vote.
I’m finally done making this post after several attempts at making a unique idea
