Game of Crowns!!

For those who haven't heard, check out the new Game of Crowns that is accessible in Tella Hella in Tamila.  It's so much fun that I had to leave the game for fear that I wouldn't get anything done today, which I think is a pretty good compliment to the devs who helped create this. Well done, tiny speckers!  :D

  • It is intense, but VERY fun!

  • Yes, very hard game, but really cool. My one concern is that after the initial novelty wears off it will be hard to find enough players to get a game started.

  • I won 3/4 games so far. That is really awesome especially if you get a strategy going.

  • For those of us that happen upon a game that doesn't start quickly, maybe we could have our inventory active so we could still wait for others to join but not stare blankly at the screen feeling the need to leave the game before it even starts. Maybe we could at least look at the other players' info?

    Love the game!

  • Awesomely addictive. Hurts my wrist so much jumping...one needs to be located in Karpal Tunnel.

    Also, it'd be cool to see a final standings at the end...to see how much I lose by.

  • Platform jumping based, sorry, not for me.

  • There is one in Cranbury Coppice in Groddle Forest too :)

     I do hope this leads to more multiplayer games...

  • It was totally fun, I'm so bad at jumping but had a blast trying. What will you awesome dev come up with next. This was so much fun.

  • +1 Joe Blow, we should have this in Karpal Tunnel, cause that is what we will all get while playing it

  • certain players seem to have a rather large advantage based on client speed or network speed or something.

    one player in particular seemed to be neigh untouchable by other players. i occluded the player on occasion and saw other players do so as well, to no effect, despite the crown being unlocked.

    during one match every single other player in the game had a 'false crown', presumably from touching this player but without the touch registering on the server. it'd be laughable if it wasn't so frustrating.

  • Yes it was bugged when I played too, but the idea of it is so great to me.  I know they will work the bugs out but I love how features like this are being added!

  • i saw a player outside the game of crowns walking around with the crown still on. i was a little jealous. :)

  • You need to introduce a better queuing system for this game.  It should be possible to do other things while queued up for this game.  Ideally, you should be allowed to walk around while queued up and get summoned into the instance when the game starts, but really, being able to cook or manipulate inventory would be better than being stuck for god knows how long (I only lasted 5 minutes) waiting for a game to start.

    ETA: How about if we don't get into the game, we get our money back?

  • Psst!  There is at least one other location where you can play the game, maybe even more than one.  I entered it in Andra.

  • I was able to ignore the "false crowns" by looking at the big honkin' crown icon in the lower right that said who actually was in possession of the crown at any given moment. =)

    Love the mini-game!

  • Luvin the game and had an idea. Is the a similar game that could be played in teams? A bit like capture the flag but plated over a couple of streets. No to allowed - there are plenty of good platform streets in the game. Plus I love the team working aspect of the glitch so this would fit this nicely. QuidGlitch perhaps or is that copyrighted?

  • Strategy indeed! Anticipate the players next move... Get the quoins... Jump jump jump! :)

  • oooh Capture the Flag!

  • Indian what a great idea!!  I love that you can work on teams together as opposed to one v one

  • A few other observations:

    It seems to be too easy to win (or too hard to chase) with just 3 players. 4 or 5 minimum would be better.

    Longer lock respawn times so that you have to be vulnerable for an amount of time (all locks unavailable at a given time). Or maybe 2 or 3 difficulty levels with different maps, respawn times etc.

    Would be nice to have random lock spawn points. Too predictable to just hop from lock to lock.

  • The first time I got in a game, I started at the bottom of the map with the other players and we had to work our way up above the line to get the timer going and we were crammed in the upper space to try and win.

    The second time, I spawned where I had won (above the line) and the whole game played out backwards - that is, I had to run around and stay below the game line in order for time to start counting.

    I'm not sure if this is working as intended...

  • I still haven't played it. I tried twice today, but no one was around to play with. 
    Posted 16 months ago by Widdershins Subscriber! | Permalink
  • First time I tried, I left after close to 10 minutes of waiting for someone to join me...I was able to chat with friends in one of my groups so it wasn't too bad, but have to agree, it would have been better to have been able to do something productive in game.  The cost to enter was minimal enough, but it was a bit sad that you don't get refunded your cost if you don't get to play.  The second time I tried it, there was one other there, and a third joined us pretty quick.  Fun game. 

    Sounds like there are multiple locations, so it would be great to have a list of the locations for the game. 

    Sadly, I found the 'stand'/entry point for the game seemed so out of place looking for the surroundings...would be nicer if things like these, the tickets holder for the races and the mailboxes blended better for the areas they are in...

  • i was waiting in the game for someone to join me today.  when acreditando joined, it said that there was no one here. so we left.   and the other two machines i checked had out of order signs.

  • I love this addition, but there are bugs galore with the matchmaking.

    Sure it will return stronger in the next test!!
    Posted 16 months ago by CYMR0 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • widdershins & b3achy: we fixed a bug earlier today that was causing many people to all sit around waiting in otherwise-empty locations even though they all wanted to play. If the game was open right now, it'd be very likely that you'd get matched up right away. So, try again next time :)

  • I love the Game of Crowns, too. Yesterday, I bring my RL friends to try it out with me but we end up in different instance? I even tried a follow-me trick; nothing working. So, my friends and I never play together at once.

  • I'm a huge fan of 'while you wait' minigames. I forget what site or game it was, but you could play a mindless tetris or breakout style minigame in the loading window....

    Perhaps a 'polish the crown while you wait' game where you get bonus currants or something for your work after the game ends? Double the amount if you win? I feel like there's an idea here, but I just can't flesh it out.

    ...if only I had a brainful of helpful glitchies!

  • Thanks, stoot! It's good to know you're all on top of it.
