Gameplay
The gameplay of this game is similar to the Rayman M Battle Arena (which is where most of the ability ideas come from). The whole idea is that each player starts off with an avatar that cannot attack nor cast spells. Each avatar has 5 health which does not regenerate, and armor and mana are unused. The avatar has to touch generators to gain abilities, which give them a single item before deactivating for 15 seconds. There are 3 different types of generators, and they are always in the same positions each game. Gold generators give special offensive items, whereas green and red give generic defensive and offensive items respectively. The avatar then proceeds to use the item they have just gathered against the opposing players.
Each item, when picked up, give the avatar an ability to use dependent on the item. All abilities are at the top-right side of the avatars command card, where "attack" usually is. Just like the "attack" ability, their hotkeys' are always "A".
Once an avatar's health reaches 0, they will "die" and be (almost) instantly respawned at a random position in the arena. The killing player gains 1 kill point which is used in order to win the game. Once a player reaches the designated amount of kill points, the game finishes and restarts for the next round. It's planned to have unlimited rounds (you can play all day without leaving the game!). The only way for players to lose kill points is for them to be the killers of their own avatar.
The Arena
The arena, as all arena's should be, is dynamic. Although not purely dynamic, since that would generate some extremely random terrain. Instead, the host can choose out of several arena's to play in, each with their unique generator points and terrain.
