## About This Game
During each new solstice, when the brightest planets are aligned with
Calçoene’s Megaliths, there is a moment when legends stop being just legends.
The large crescent moon opens the door to the most anticipated competition for
those who live in the shadows. Awakened, sinister creatures appear across the
vastness of Brazil, fiercely vying for the post of the greatest nightmare of
all time.

Spookyard is a local 2D multiplayer computer game that has different and
competitive dynamics for each arena, offering game modes that can vary within
the topdown and sidescroll camera styles.

Players can choose from four characters, each with their own abilities, basic
attacks, and attributes to deal with in four different target arenas. The
character mechanics boils down to movement, basic attack, and ability
commands.

Spookyard is a Party game and Arena Multiplayer that offers as a differential
the focus on the challenges and dynamics proposed in each stage, instead of
eliminating opponents in combat. The winner is the one who manages to fulfill
the goals of the game mode, which vary in each one of the arenas. The players
use the skills of their characters to create strategies that can overcome the
challenges of the levels and hinder their opponents.

The game was developed in 2017 by undergraduate students in the research
laboratory ICAD / VisionLab of the Computer Science Department of the
Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). Students from
Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Industrial Design were engaged on
this project aiming to create their first ever arena game.
