Boops, Beez, and Bears

Boops, Beez, and Bears is a cross between between a horde-mode survival game and a participatory art experience. Your voice is your weapon: hum, whistle, laugh, or cry – whatever works for you, just do it fast! Best enjoyed with a crowd, who are likely to be amused by your vocal antics while avoiding the annoying beez. --- You are armed only with the vox 9000 weirding module and must survive 10 increasingly difficult waves of derpy beez and grumpy techno-bears. *A microphone is required to play this game*

Jam Site:

UNC & IGDA Triangle GGJ 2017!

Jam year:

2017

Diversifiers:

Virtuoso

NOT THE BEES

Platforms:

MS Windows, Mac OS X

Tools and Technologies:

Unreal Engine

Installation Instructions:

To play, grab the 'Executable' download and unzip, then run BoopsBeezBears.exe.

You will need a microphone to play!

If you have issues, try installing the UE4 prereqs, located in the subfolder Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe.

Note: The pre-compiled package will only run on 64-bit Windows, but the source version was also tested on MacOS.

If you want to mess with the source version, you will need UnrealEngine 4.15 and Visual Studio 2015 (or XCode), and you will need to rebuild lighting on the map (the built data was stripped to get download size down).
