About: Magma Duel is a 2-player game whereas your objective is to destroy the opposing player, whether by knocking him into the boiling magma below, or by making use of the 9 nifty powerups available randomly floating around the level. Each round the level is generated by the computer based on modifiable (see Options) values. A new feel each time!

Description

Magma Duel was inspired by a wonderful game released for DOS in 1996, Marshmallow Duel (http://www.marshmallowduel.com). Hours of fun spent with friends on this game lead to the creation you see here today, with all sorts of changes and improvements (largely graphical!).

Magma Duel is a 2-player game (2 *people*, no AI) whereas your objective is to destroy the opposing player, whether by knocking him into the boiling magma below, or by making use of the 9 nifty powerups available randomly floating around the level. Each round the level is generated by the computer based on modifiable (see Options) values of platforms and ropes -- not to mention random colour gradient backgrounds -- offering a new feel every game.

UPDATE! (October 21, 2005)
==========================
- Item spawn speed, # of rounds, round delay Options
- Configurable player names/colours
- EndGame and EndRound reports (kills, deaths, favourite item, etc)
- Dramatic splash when objects fall into the magma (players, platforms)
- New, spiffier player sprites/animations
- Bigger rope detection radius
