Spook Royale Open Alpha

Spook Royale Open Alpha for Testing and Criticism:

Move, shoot, turn intangible, and make spooky noises as you take on friends and foes alike in the ghostly arena of Spook Royale. Spook Royale is a cross between a twin stick shooter and a causal 4 person pseudo fighter, featuring ghosts. Currently the game is in a state where we have the concept down and would like to see what people think of it before moving on to making it into a full experience; as of now Spook Royale has 4 characters (5 with the unlockable), 2 stages (3 with the unlockable), and 4 item types that can influence the flow of battle. Using the feedback we get from the beta we would like to have 8-12 characters and stages in the final game along with a brief story mode and a more fleshed out arcade mode. At this moment Spook Royale is ideally played with an Xbox360/1 controller or with a keyboard.

Characters playable in this version:

Oid: What this ghost lacks in speed he makes up for with his unstoppable ability to momentarily stop time. He lacks remorse and plans ahead up until his enemy’s final moments.

Magician: A ghost who thought it would be cool to do a routine with cards he learned quickly to be able to weave out of situations when the audience turned on him after even the most simple tricks would blow up in his face.

HawkEyesMcEagleEyes: An actual ghost bird that just wears two eye patches for seemingly no reason- being a bird they are fast- however what he has in excess in speed he lacks in planning as he never learned to properly control his explosive eggs.

Crusader: The fight for his lord Bingleshnaut never ends- and as a result he is always decked out in full plate and carries his trusty sword and shield. The full plate slows him down too much to run from hostile situations but with his shield and his faith- no foe stands a chance!
