Welcome to Multiwinia: Survival of the Flattest the ultimate retro-arcade multiplayer experience! Choose from a selection of six hilariously fun, action-packed game modes, set in one of the most beautiful game environs you will ever set eyes on.
Challenge your opponent to a game of stick-man slaughter, and watch digital-war unfold, as your Multiwinian army struggles to complete a chosen task faster and better than your rivals. Its fast, its furious, and only the flattest will survive!
__________________________________________________________________________
So what is this game about?
It is an action RTS in the vein of Syndicate, Cannon Fodder or Herzog Zwei. You have direct control over a squad and indirect control over the legions of Darwinians. The first title was focused on single player puzzle solving but this one is all about multiplayer action.
__________________________________________________________________________
Modes:
Assault- One team defends a heavily guarded bomb that will explode within a set time period, whilst the other team must attack and try to capture and destroy the bomb before it detonates.
Rocket Riot- Each team has a giant rocket, and in order to win you must refuel and occupy the rocket, and perform a successful launch before your rivals get the same idea. At any point during these phases the rocket is extremely vulnerable to explosions so you need to watch out for attacking enemy armies at all moments!
Capture The Statue- Capture the statues dotted around the maps with your herds of Multiwinians and bring them back to your home base in order to score points!
King of the Hill- Capture more spawn points to grow your army quickly. Capture King of the Hill Zones to start scoring points. Capture crates for powerups.
Domination- Fight your enemies for control of spawn points dotted around the map. The more spawn points you capture, the bigger your army grows and the greater the chance of victory spawn and conquer!
Blitzkrieg- You start with a home flag and your aim is to capture all the flags which link your own home flag to your opponents home flag. If you manage to capture your enemys home flag, whilst successfully defending your own, then you win the game.
With massive gun defences surrounding your home flag and continual reinforcements to your Multiwinia army, flag sites quickly become areas of chaos and carnage!

Unit Types
Spawn Points
Build your Multiwinian army by capturing the various spawn points dotted around the map in order to create new Multiwinians. Spawn points can be won from your enemies. This can be done by killing their Multiwinians that are currently controlling the building, and then occupying them with your own. Spawn and conquer!
Trunk Port
Trunk Ports are gateways to other parts of the Darwinian world. In some modes trunk ports are purely decorative. In others they can spawn Multiwinians at a regular rate to reinforce your army in Assault, Rocket Riot and Blitzkrieg.
Officers
Elect one of your Multiwinians to role of officer by selecting him with the right mouse button.Officers can move your Multiwinians into formation mode to present a more formidable attacking force to the enemy. Officers can also order Multiwinians
to move to a certain location.
Crate power-ups
Capture the crates that randomly fall from the sky by surrounding the area with your Multiwinians in order to harness the special power-ups they contain! They could contain something useful to help you beat the enemy e.g. an Air Strike or Gun Turret. But be warned they might also contain something unpredictably destructive
Armour
Use armour to transport up to 100 Multiwinians quickly and easily across the map. They are great for going across steep mountainous terrain with ease, and can go across water too! Armours are vulnerable to attack and a severely damaged armour will start to flicker before being destroyed.
Gun Turrets
Gun Turrets are stationary platforms that spit out a variety of deaths at the Multiwinians. They come in 3 flavours: Regular, Flame and Rocket. While they vary in range and firing rate they are all a formidable force to be reckoned with.

. Played a few rounds already and it's extremely fun. Like Defcon the line between strategy and luck seems pretty thin, but that's part of the appeal. It's just fun to hurl massive waves of Darwinians at each other and watch the light show.
