Brain Storm

Come to room 324 to the Nintendo64 to play with your whole team and face each other! Each game last 3 minutes. If you are less than 4 people we will fill the remaining slots :)

Have you ever seen a blue horse? Probably not! But your brain knows what it would look like, how strange...

In Brain Storm, you play as the little workers in your head making sure the brain is able to visualize a blue horse, a green cat or a red eiffel tower!

The brain is full memory fragments, and it's your job to make sure the brain sees the right ones by mixing and matching these fragments.

Theme integration

Everything on screen is a resource. Knowledge is the most powerful resource. You must use your teammate, your opponents, the shrinking floor space and the knowledge fragments at your disposal to achieve victory, as your opponents will try to do the same.

Each memory can be used, either to achieve your own objective or slow down the opponents.

(Programming a game for real N64 hardware also means resources are limited, and we used every bit of this we could to make it work)

How to play

The setup is simple: It's Team Left vs. Team Right, and you're racing to feed a giant brain.

• Help the brain: Check your team's corner of the screen. The brain will show you exactly what it is trying to think of. That is your team's current objective.

• Gather the fragments: It is your job to visualize that thought by working as a team and combining the correct memory fragments together, forming the finished memory! Walk over a memory fragment on the ground to carry it with you.

• Slam to Combine: When two players bump into each other they combine their held fragments into one! A color and a shape make a finished memory!
  
  
• Score: Throw a finished memory into the brain that matches your teams objective to score a point. The first team to 5 points wins!

• Dash: Dash to gain a burst of speed. If a player is in your way and you are empty-handed or have uncombinable fragments, you will both drop whatever you are holding.

Controls:

: Throw memory fragment 

: Dash

Joystick: Movement
