Bringing the gameplay of Midi Maze - the first ever multiplayer fps game - back, Smiley Battle improves its formula with new designs, new maps, new gameplay mechanics, a fresh, modern, easily accessible interface and easy internet match making for up to fifteen players.
In SmileyBattle, you roam a confusing maze with your smiley, sneak up behind unsuspecting opponents or get right in the middle of a fight and throw color bags at each other. Earn money to unlock powerups that turn you into a ghost, a vampire or even hand you a nuke to give you an edge in the battle for supremacy.
Hide behind doors or flee through them - if they aren't locked, which can happen randomly and unexpectedly. You can encounter one way doors, some of which may change the locked side once you pass through them - or even do it just randomly, so you never know whether the door down that corridor will let you pass or trap you with an opponent in your back.
SmileyBattle revives the gameplay of the legendary Midi Maze with new graphics, including four different texture styles, moving clouds in the sky, variable level elements.
On top of it, you have sixteen powerups at your disposal which you unlock by earning points when hitting or knocking out other players.
You can turn yourself into a hard to see and hard to hit ghost or enable your sonar to spot ghosts, become a vampire and add to your health every time you hit another player, or poison other players. Powerups also allow you to heal yourself or remove the effect of being poisoned from you.
Bounce your shots around corners at double speed, speed up yourself or slow down the others. Use a boomerang to return every damage and its effects to its sender, or become an invincible gun ship by enabling quad shots. If nothing else helps, you can even teleport yourself to a remote area of the map. You can even earn a nuke if you play really well and wipe out everybody - including yourself (but it's still worth it, not just for the fun of it).
SmileyBattle comes with a well designed, intuitively interface which is kept in the style of its chubby protagonists. The entire interface can be controlled with a gamepad (which is the recommended input device and gives you the smoothest gameplay). Wherever you may need to input a number, SmileyBattle hands you an on-screen numeric keypad to do so.
SmileyBattle makes it easy to host or join a match with its built-in match maker support, allowing you to play inside your LAN, offer a private game or use a publicly available match making server, protecting your match with a key if you want to.
As the icing on the cake, SmileyBattle will play your own music for you: All you need to do is to drop your songs in its music folder.
