Sorab's Dev Blog: Trident

Trident is a 2D beat-em-up fighting game made with Adobe Flash using ActionScript 3.0.
The story revolves around the titular Trident of Rudra which has been stolen from its keeper Aloka by a mystic known as Aaghori Tantrik. Aaghori wishes to use the Trident to summon his master Satan, while there are others too who wish to use the Trident each for their own purposes. The game features five playable characters with multiplayer gameplay on a single system using keyboard and mouse. The mouse input system consists of a dial on screen which has various actions preset like move left, move right, run left, run right, etc. The player performs the action indicated by the icon by hovering over the button. For attacks, a single click performs a light/medium attack while a double click performs a heavy attack. Having a completely separate input device for the second player, ensures that during multiplayer, both players have an equal opportunity and do not miss out on inputs not being registered in the case when both players use a single keyboard.
