Mask Off

Overview

Mask Off is a fast-paced, local multiplayer beat-'em-up where players compete for powerful, game-changing masks. This project was developed for LubJam 2026 / Global Game Jam 2026.

GGJ 2026 diversifiers

We have incorporated the following diversifiers:

• Many Hands Make Light Work: Designed for local multiplayer with up to four players.
• The World is Alive: Every stationary object in our levels features custom animations. [TODO]
• Cartridge Ready: The final build is optimized to be under 10 MB. [TODO].
• Diverse: By including the three diversifiers above, we have achieved the "Diverse" challenge.

Game design

• Core Loop: Wait for the timer, grab the Mask, and use unique power-ups to outplay your opponents.
• USP: Local 4-player mayhem, quirky mask-based power-ups, and three distinct maps.
• Target: Family-friendly (Rating: E).

Naming conventions

These naming conventions follow the Godot Engine style. Breaking these will make your code clash with the built-in naming conventions, leading to inconsistent code. As a summary table:

Type	Convention	Example
File and folder names	snake_case	game_manager.gd, enemy_sprite.png, ``
class_name	PascalCase	class_name Control
Node names	PascalCase	Camera3D, Player
Functions	snake_case	func load_level():
Variables	snake_case	var particle_effect
Signals	snake_case	always in past tense signal door_opened
Constants	CONSTANT_CASE	const MAX_SPEED = 200
enum names	PascalCase	enum Element
enum members	CONSTANT_CASE	{EARTH, WATER, AIR, FIRE}
