A two-player puzzle game based on DROD

Separately Steered Simultaneous Sword Stabbing Simulator

This is the repository of SSSSSS, a two-player puzzle game that plays almost like DROD (Deadly Rooms of Death). If you've never played DROD before it might be a little tough, since the difficult curve is all over the place.

You can play the game here: https://ssssss.evidentlycube.com

How to run it locally

1. Clone the repository
2. Run npm i
3. Copy config.example.json to config.json and update the settings
4. Run node app.js
5. Open localhost:3000 in two tabs in your browser of choice

There is no automatic server restart on change, so you need to hit Ctrl+C to kill it and run node app.js again to restart it.

History

Originally the project was called DROD Online and was released on Caravel Games forums on April Fool's 2018, a joke game... And a way to prove some people that multiplayer DROD is indeed possible and can be fun.

Making new rooms

If you're interested in creating new rooms, do the following:

• Grab a copy of DROD The Second Sky, can even be the demo version.
• Download the levelset hold file
• Import it into DROD
• Open DROD editor
• Make a copy of the [TEMPLATE] level (the game will ask you if you want to make a copy of the hold, say yes)
• Rename the [TEMPLATE] level to the name you want to be displayed as
• Make the rooms!
