Description

Grab n' Throw is a first-person multiplayer sports game set in a near future where athletes have the upper body strength to throw stacks of their own teammates. Two or more players face off in various game modes, and AI and smart matchmaking ensure players always have someone to play against.

Features

• Fluid movement - Jump from teammate to teammate, grab, throw, all in first-person.
• Interactivity - Interact with the environment. If it exists, you can probably do something with it. Everything in videogames should be interactive!
• Multiple gamemodes
  • Hole in One - Throw force is cranked up massively! Fly through the air, kilometres at a time, and try to land in a golf hole that moves further and further away. Make your way across a 256 km^2 map, bounce off randomly placed surfaces, and score extra points for holes-in-one and making the longest throw!
  • Bombarda - Dodgeball crossed with soccer, except instead of balls you throw stacks of your own team-mates, and every goal tilts the whole field against you! Take the offensive and try to win on goals, or hang back and smash into the other team to beat them with outs!
  • Volley Bash - Throw your team-mates across the net to score goals by slamming into the ground!
  • Lawyer Launch - Run through a high-rise office building and hurl more lawyers out of windows than your opponents!
  • More to come!
• Sustainable multiplayer - Buying a primarily-multiplayer indie game is a risk. What if there aren’t any players? Grab n' Throw is designed with this in mind!
  • Each game is designed to be fun with just two players, and scale up from there.
  • Match-making fills empty waiting sessions first to ensure everyone has someone to play with.
  • If a new session has to be started you get immediately thrown into a match against crafty AI while waiting.
• Utility AI - Play against cunning, responsive AI that makes choices based on the state of the game and the expected value of each action.
