Insult Combat

Demolish your opponents in verbal conflict; deconstructing the self-esteem of those who have previously wronged you. By discovering their weaknesses, you can deliberately target their personal insecurities for more effect in combat.

It's ok, they deserve it … I think.

Crowd Strength

Gain new followers upon defeating your enemies; despite their fickle loyalties, they help strengthen your cause on the journey to destroying all those who have wronged you. Be wary of those with larger crowds than you however, as their crowds will drown out the sound of support from your own.

Larger crowds are more than capable of decimating you and your efforts.

Gossip Mongers

How else do you discover the weaknesses of your enemies than by asking the gossip mongers themselves? Conveniently placed gossip mongers will tell you all you need to know in order to destroy those in your path.

Kind of makes you wonder what kind of things they say about you …

Collectables

The entire school is littered with all your stuff. The others must have decided to scatter your things around the place as some sort of sick prank. Yes that must be it!

Find all your stuff. Or not. I mean, we're not forcing you to … it's your stuff.

Artists Statement

Us members of 19T1 Studio 2's Team 3, dubbed Artless Studios, are long time gamers and avid fans of a diverse number of different genres of games.

For some of us, we had only started developing games since the beginning of our courses last year. I'd say that our journeys into the gaming industry started since the first day we held a controller; some of us having been gamers since the age of four.

This is an industry that we are enamoured with, and hopefully our game can communicate that to you.

The art style was very much based on the idea of a school yard, and by that I mean very simple, happy and colourful. Which is to be juxtaposed by the game-play.
