Description

Porcunipine is a couch multiplayer about balding porcupines fighting courageously for survival using their very last pointy quills. In Porcunipine up to four players battle to death using their only spikes as projectiles, and the mechanics are fairly simple: shoot, kill someone, grab your spike back, shoot again. Porcunipine is all about quick, frantic rounds where every shot is a matter of life and death, where you’re as likely to kill yourself as you are to do an amazing double-rebound-off-the-wall-multi-kill and where the opportunity to scream at, berate or otherwise humiliate your friends is available in every single match.

History

Porcunipine’s first prototype was developed as a singleplayer survival during Ludum Dare #28, which theme was “You Only Get One”. The first version was released on Kongregate, where players started to suggest a multiplayer mode. The developers took their advice, and focused on developing Porcunipine as a multiplayer experience ever since.
