123Gnome!
A downloadable game for Windows
123Gnome!
123Gnome! is a couch-coop versus game, where you and your friends are garden-gnomes, having a friendly race in the backyard. Your goal is to reach the finishline without falling behind, while the gardener tries his best to stop your fun by any means possible. But don't worry, you've also got some tricks up your sleeve, as there are power-ups scattered throughout the garden that you can pick up and use to your advantage, or - for the more competitive gnomes - to annoy your friends with!
Join your fellow gnomes in some sunny afternoon fun, and may the fastest gnome win!
Gameplay Mechanics
Now for the main features in our game! Each player has 2 lives, one of which will be lost each time you go off-screen. You can jump with A, and dash with Y or RB, to evade obstacles. There will be logs thrown at you, pushing you along with them as they roll across the track, and rocks, forming random obstacles along your path. Walking in water - the river, or the waterstreams falling down - will slow you down quite a bit, so try to avoid this!
We've got 4 fun power-ups in our game.
The banana peel can be dropped behind you by pressing B, or can be thrown in front of you by holding the button down instead. Walking into an active banana peel will send you flying in a slightly randomized direction, during which you will not be able to change your movement direction.
Similar to the banana peel, the honey pot can also be dropped and thrown. After reaching the ground though, it will turn into a honey puddle, slowing down anyone who steps into this sticky goo.
The armor can though, can be equipped by pressing B. While equipped, you will not lose a life when going offscreen, but afterwards the can will break. It doesn't last infinitely though, so make sure to time it right!
And lastly, the clover can be equipped aswell, and will temporarily make you immune from the negative effects of water, honey, and banana peels.
