How it plays
- Nobody is playing against anybody here: the room shares the boss, the lives and the result. Push the stick to move around the floor and hold the trigger to shoot -- your shots aim themselves, so the whole round is about where you stand.
- Every shot the boss lands knocks one of you down and spends one of the party's lives. Take the bar to nothing before the lives or the clock run out and everybody wins; lose and everybody loses together.
Rules
- How it runs. The room is on one side and the boss is on the other. The stick walks you around the floor, the trigger shoots for as long as you hold it, and every bolt goes at the body on its own -- there is nothing else down there to aim at.
- Scoring. The boss swells before every attack, and that is your warning. It sprays rings with a gap in them, bursts at whoever it has picked, and drops curtains down the floor; the lower its bar, the less it waits between them.
- Winning. One pool of lives for the whole party, one bar for the boss, one hundred seconds for both. A hit knocks that player down for three seconds and costs a life; at zero lives, or when the clock runs out, everybody loses the round together.
