GTFO: a 2-player side scrolling game where one player controls a stick person trying to run, jump, climb, or swim to the other side of the level.
The other player plays the environment and tries to smite the first player and thwart their escape attempt by creating deadly natural disasters along the way, but can’t directly attack or interact with the other player.
Players are scored based on how far the escapee gets through the board and how quickly the environment kills the other player.
An escaping player might want to quickly parkour between buildings by jumping the gap between the roofs. However, if the environment player had already clicked the ground and planted a tree between the buildings, they could then call down lightning on to the tree to fry the jumping escapee. The escapee might then try to climb down the building to walk under the tree before climbing back to the roof to sprint over the tops of buildings again. Picking a more exposed path with fewer obstacles lets the escapee move more quickly but also offers less protection from the environment.
It’d be a two-player competitive side scrolling action game, where one player controls the course environment, which is something I’ve never seen before.
