DUNK STREET CITY

Go head-to-head against the most prolific personalities of Dunk Street City in this rap battle RPG! Choose between brutal bars to damage your opponent’s Rep and boost your own, or say some shit that’s entirely out of pocket, sacrificing your Rep to startle/charm your opponent. 

HOW TO PLAY

The aim of the game is to choose the best dialogue options to get your opponent’s Rep to 0 in 10 rounds and to avoid losing your own Rep (indicated by the ‘health bars’ at the top of the screen). 

On your turn, you must click one of the three responses to the prompt before the timer runs out. Different responses will effect you and your opponent’s Rep in different ways. Some responses may also inflict Charm❤️ or Confusion🌀 effects. For each Charm❤️ your opponent has, they suffer 25% more Rep damage from your burns. If your opponent accumulates 4 or more Confusion🌀, they fumble their turn and lose a bunch of Rep.

On your opponent’s turn, you must click the correct reactions each round (💪,😆,🤨) for a chance to shrug off your opponent’s burns and preserve your Rep.

This game was created as part of an internal game jam at Mass Transfer Interactive, a startup videogame studio based in Melbourne currently working on the dice-builder RPG Hexaquest. The jam theme was "Harm and Heal" and took place over a weekend and Monday for a Ludum Dare style 72-hour jam. Minor improvements were made after the jam period for this release, although bugs do remain.

The game is built on Unreal Engine 5.3.2, and may not run well on older hardware, despite its gameplay. This is because the jam was devised as an introductory exercise to bring together for the first time the team making Hexaquest, so we wanted to practise the workflow that Hexaquest would be using.
