Zone Control

A frantic 2-player battle for zone dominance - created in 48 hours for YILDIZ Game Jam!

THE CHALLENGE IS SIMPLE

Stay in the mysterious zones that appear across the arena and rack up points faster than your opponent! But beware - stray outside for too long, and you'll face elimination!

FEATURES

• Fast-paced competitive gameplay - Battle head-to-head with a friend on the same keyboard
• Dynamic zones - Colorful zones appear randomly around the arena, creating a constantly evolving battlefield
• Powerful pickups - Collect powerups to gain the advantage:
  • Speed boosts to race to zones faster
  • Shield protection to avoid catastrophe
  • Size altering effects that change the game dynamics
  • Teleporters for instant zone access
  • ...and more surprises!

CONTROLS

• Player 1: Arrow keys to move
• Player 2: WASD keys to move

STRATEGY

Do you camp in a zone to maximize points? Or hunt down powerups to gain tactical advantage? Stay too long outside the zones and you'll lose points - and eventually the match!

DEVELOPMENT

Created in just 48 hours for the YILDIZ Game Jam using a custom C++ engine, Zeytin Engine. This project pushed our limits as we implemented:

• Physics-based player collisions with momentum transfer
• Particle effects for dramatic collisions and teleportations
• Zone expansion mechanics with time pressure
• Powerup system with various effect types

HOW TO WIN

The first player to fill their zone meter wins the match! Or... be the last one standing if your opponent stays outside zones for too long!

Grab a friend, mash those keys, and may the best zone controller win!

"The zones are temporary, but the glory of victory is forever!"
