Hello everyone.

I'm happy to announce that my first-ever game is ready to see the light of the day. I saw this game called "2-player reactor" on a friends Android HTC and I loved it. It's a simple yet seriously addictive and a great game for at the pub, when people feel like taking a challenge against you. So I decided to write a game using the same principle. Some of the games are the same as in the original, some are entirely new, some are inspired from other games. So here you have it!

Reaction face-off
Reaction face-off is a fast-paced game where two players put their reflexes, knowledge and brainpower to the test. Round after round you compete in different minigames against your opponent. Every minigame makes a statement, and if it becomes true, you have to hit your button to gain a point. If you're wrong, your opponent gets a point.
At the moment there's 13 minigames, some about maths, some about reaction, combining different things, counting, and common knowledge.

Here's a couple of screenshots:









Hope you get the idea

I'll add more games, especially knowledge/trivia related ones. Tips and suggestions for existing and new games welcome.

It is now in extras-testing

Notes
  • When you run it the first time, look at the builtin help screen for some info on how stuff works
  • If you're wondering about the size: Most of it is the flags of 233 countries. They're high-res because I wrote the game in such a way that it can run at higher resolutions as well, not only 800x480, although it's not completely optimized for different resolutions just yet.
  • If you're wondering about CPU usage, yeah it's not brilliant. It's the first time I wrote something using pygame and it's not exactly perfect. I'll optimize some of the things when the game is in a more final state.

Have fun!
