Be ready for chaotic split-screen multiplayer shooter that forces players to rethink the way they approach conventional multiplayer games. In the Screencheat arena, fast reaction times aren’t enough to keep you alive.

Eight original wacky weapons, five clever colorful maps, and many friedship-breaking feuds await you in [url=http://www.gog.com/game/screencheat ]Screencheat[/url], for only $13.49 on GOG.com. The special 10% off release discount offer lasts until Thursday, October 30, at 12:00PM GMT.

catpower1980: It might sound stupid but GOG Galaxy isn't mentioned in the text of the news. Is the Galaxy Client supported, are there gog servers?
There are servers but they aren't ours :) This title isn't using Galaxy :)

catpower1980: So, the obvious question: do they plan to implement the galaxy client API in the upcoming future?

BTW, that multiplayer-only (or solo with bots) reminds me, we already have Warsow on GOG, did gog contacted the devs to implement GOG galaxy too?

Those kind of games are a little boring with bots :(
I don't know, that's way over my head, really :)
We had a truckload of fun checking Screencheat out in the office. :D The cool thing about this game is that you don't need any twitch skill - it evens out the playing field almost completely. Because of this, no one truly dominated every game, and every kill was well-earned and absolutely satisfying.
If this were UT, Tribes or any other arena shooter, I would just feel bad about wrecking everyone, you know? :( But here, everyone had fun. Great game altogether, and it must be amazing as a party game (which I hope we'll be able to test soon:D).

vicklemos: Exactly what I needed to hear! I believe we truly need more of these nowadays, with the market bombarded with individualistic games.
Do you mean a truckload of fun as in Timesplitters 2 fun or Goldeneye fun!? :) Both?

edit: can you tell me, sir, what was your setup? big tv? lan, split screen?
controllers (x360, I presume), mouse + keyboard?
I have played neither Timesplitters nor Goldeneye, so my answer would have to be: yes. ;)

We played over a network on our own machines, on keyboards and mice. This as especially cool since we had to scream taunts at each others across the office, as we were spread out across three rooms. :D Luckily, it was late in the afternoon and we were the only ones left. ;)
I'm pretty sure the QA folk later tried the actual splitscreen mode on inferior controllers :P but I wasn't part of that.
Hey all,

The Linux version of Screencheat is now available :) Sorry for the delay on that one :)
