Game Overview
This game is played through the Twitch platform, where players control in-game actions by entering specific commands in the Twitch chat during a live stream. Since many players will be inputting commands at the same time, the gameplay can become quite chaotic. This chaos is actually by design; we want the in-game actions to be sufficiently disordered to reflect the game's concept.
Gameplay
The gameplay is very simple: players just need to input specific commands to control different parts of a puppet, making its movements match the shadow movements on the wall. Players must complete the corresponding actions within a set time to score points, and a game consists of completing 10 actions in total. To enhance player engagement, at the end of the game, we will announce the player's score and the game's high score. Additionally, the game will display in real time the commands input by the player and the top three players who input the most commands.
