Aptly Rolling

About This Game

In this game you must roll around in a wacky manner collecting shapes to increase your mass and eat other players. Compete for the top spot on the leaderboard!

In order to eat a shape or other player you must be bigger than them. Watch out for spikes that will remove your mass!

Features

• Roll around and pick up shapes (food) that move with you (cubes, spheres, pyramids, cylinders)
• Drop food on the ground for others after you have collected it
• Spikes that make the player lose mass on contact
• A leaderboard that shows the largest 10 players in the current lobby
• Large, semi-procedural map, food spawners, towers and spikes are randomized so that each server is somewhat unique
• In game lobby chat
• Incompetent bots
• Adjustable bot count (0-256)
• Adjustable max players per lobby (1-250)
• Colorful players
• Ability to get very large

Multiplayer / Matchmaking

To join a random open lobby simply click “Join” on the main screen

To host your own game, click “Host”. Other players will be able to join as described above by clicking “Join”

You can invite and join friends using the Steam overlay.

• Press [Esc] on the keyboard
• Host clicks “Invite”
• Host uses invite dialog to invite other player(s)
• Other player(s) start Aptly Rolling
• Other player(s) press [Shift]+[Tab] to activate the Steam overlay
• Other player(s) click “Play Game” in the Steam chat window

Note: You will not be able to join games that have a full lobby.

For transparency, multiplayer is tested with 4 players and bots to emulate large lobbies. The game should support up to 250 players per server. You may find that adjusting the max players and / or bot count may improve or degrade your gameplay experience. There is a built in text chat, but not voice chat. If you wish to work as a team it is suggested that you use Discord or Steam Chat.
