Mini Splatoon
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
This is a prototype/demo of a 2d version of Splatoon 3.
THIS IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH NINTENDO IN ANY WAY.
This is not a professional game.
In this game you try to cover as much ground as you can with your ink and maybe splat some opponents along the way. Turn into a squid to swim fast through your own ink, but don't touch enemy ink! With over 30 weapons to choose from, every battle is different.
Unfortunately the game doesn't support iPhone or Mac yet, but you can play it on GX.games instead:

This is great! are you guys looking for project members?
Actually yes, although I might be getting into another project that could potentially make actual money. do you have experience with game development?
I can work with like five different languages (best with c# and python). I know unity and godot really well as well as some other basic frameworks like pygame. Really any engine I would need to use (if not one I'm familiar with) I could learn how to work with quickly. I'm also good with CGI and blender (but that's probably less useful). (Less related but I've also made a TON of rom hacks for splatoon 1 on the Wii u). If you want you can check out my itch.io account. I don't post too much but it least shows I can do game development.
That soinds great! I've also used unity and godot, but I'm using gamemaker studio 2 for this project. If you'd like to join I'm using github for source control, so I can invite you if you have an account. I'll warn you here though, the project is quite messy, mostly because it was started a while back when I was far less experienced in coding. Also I have been taking a break but I might get back into it soon.
I'm sorry which project are you talking about? the splatoon fan game or the other one? ( I'm hoping to join the mini splatoon project). Either ways I haven't loged into my git hub acount in a while, but the username is 23elemental23 (same as on itch).
Oh! you guys have a discord? I'll also join that!
Well , so I would love if u add a setting to choose the controller ur using on android , bcs the controls on the tablette are very hard and I have a keyboard and it would be somthing very cool!
Yeah totally! Controls definitely need to be fixed on android...
I'll say right away, sorry for the mistake, I'm writing through Google translator, but is there multiplayer at the moment or do we play with bots?
Actually no, there is no online multiplayer, only local multiplayer and bots. I'm working on it though.
It's a pity but I'm glad you're already working on it. I hope Google Translate translated it correctly.
Yeah. I got, it translated pretty good.
the camera broke mid-match, 10/10
Its great
This game is so good. Probably this game will be more popular in the future :)
I found an interesting bug technique!
How to do it
1.Hold a weapon with a Crab Tank attached
2.Mode is rain maker
3.First, charge up your special and activate it near the dustpan.
4.Split the dustpan and hold the Crab Tank.
5.If you die after that...
I'm using Google Translate so sorry if there are any mistakes.
Ah, yes. that bug is way too powerful.
One thing, I'm trying to install it on my phone and i can't, i try to install and it says "App not installed" and i don't know how to solve it, any idea?
Is it windows or android (apk)?
android (apk)?
I would like it to be possible to display how much charge has been accumulated for weapons that can be charged, such as bows.
Will do. Should have that done soon
thank you
Can you tell me the code language for this game?
Gml, (game maker language). The game engine is Gamemaker Studio 2.
thank you!
Could you also release it as a GameMaker Studio 2 project?
The file is saved in
C:\Users\[name]\GameMakerProjects
.
Do people normally do that?
I just want to see what kind of program it is.
This is a fun game! Can you tell me how to play multiplayer?
Sorry, no multiplayer yet. But thanks for playing!
Thank you for your response, I'm looking forward to multiplayer being available!
great game
Thanks! It actually my first published game
could you make a linux build? I am setting up linux on my main computer but would like to play it.
No I can't right now because I need a linux computer to do that. (sorry) But you can play it on GX.games:
