Made by Anton Nilsson (Sweden,Lindome) = "Yin"

(Made for the 72 hour game-thing competition. So it's made in less
than 72 hours. "Team Yin" :3)
>>>Story
The apocalypse draws close, and the world is in ruins. In this world,
destroyed by the war between angels and demons, you play as a little
kid trying to stay alive and not starve.
>>>Gamemodes:
Starvematch - The objective of the game is to be the last player left
Survival - The game ends when someone die, so the objective is to
keep everyone alive.
>>>(ah-ha-ha-ha...)Staying alive:
Your life will constantly drop due to lack of food, so you'll need to
eat to stay alive. Vampires life drops faster.
If you walk of the edges of the arena/map/level you'll lose all life.
>>>Controls:
P1 - Walk/Jump:Arrows - Pick up/Drop:Num1 - Use/Shot:Num2
P2 - Walk/Jump:A,W,S,D - Pick up/Drop:C - Use/Shot:V
P3 - Joystick/Joypad
P4 - Walk/Jump:H,J,U,K - Pick up/Drop:O - Use/Shot:P
PICK UP/DROP: Should be easy to understand.
USE: Means that you use the item your holding (fire a gun, eat food...)
SHOT: If you do not carry anything, and press the "Use" button you will
shot a small ball-thing which can push people and make them drop what
they're carrying. It won't hurt them though. And shooting one of those
balls uses up some of your life, so be careful. If you're low on life,
you won't be able to shot.
>>>Items:
Apple: Restores 10 Life
Bread: Restores 20 Life
Pizza: Restores 30 Life
Gun: Weapon with 5 shots
Submachinegun: Just like the gun, but with 20 shots
Cross: Weapon which can hurt vampires
>>>Other characters:
Baker(or whatever): Carries around a bread.
Vampire: Wants to drink your blood and make you a vampire as well.
Meanie: Just wants to beat you.
Vampirehunter: Wants to kill vampires.
If you shot someone peaceful, they'll be mad and start chasing you.
They won't be satisfied til they get to hit someone (dosn't have to
be you though, so try to lure them into hitting the other players
or antoher npc character).
>>>Being a vampire:
When you're a vampire you can't eat normal food. You'll need to drink
the blood of other characters (human or npc dosn't matter). To do this,
press the "Use" button while standing next to your victim.
If the victim is another player, they'll also turn into vampires.
>>>Days:
As the days go by, there will be less food and more dangers, thus
making it harder to stay alive.
>>>Things I'd like to add later:
Demons (evil characters showing up around day 6-7)
Firerain (when the apocalypse is really close)
Better Sound
Music
>>>Legal stuff
This game is mine. The code and graphics is mine. End of discussion.

That's all you need to know, I guess.
And like Capcom says: "Thank you for playing"
