Darwinia and Multiwinia experiment

[Byron]

I am currently working up the marketing campaign for Darwinia+ and something interesting happened and I would like to see what your reactions are. So here's a challenge for you:

Describe Darwinia in one sentence

&

Describe Multiwinia in one sentence



- CW90

[Rkiver]

Darwinia: Evolve or Die.

Multiwinia: They've evolved, and now they die.

[vanarbulax]

Off the top of my head.

Darwinia (Much harder to describe): A cyber-retro game where you have to lead inhabitants of a virtual ecosystem to survive a virus outbreak.

Multiwinia: An abstract, bare essentials, visceral action/strategy game for fast and frantic play.

Hmmm... not sure I'm satisfied with those, the Mutliwinia description sounds a bit jargony but at least it gives you an idea of what the game will be like. Darwinia really needs a description of the setting and a few of the gameplay elements for someone to "get" what it's about. Really both games need to be played to be "got" but Darwinia especially.

[Mas Tnega]

Darwinia: They endear themselves to you with their innocence and you must rescue them!

Multiwinia: They endear themselves to you with their grenades and you must ensure their killcount.


Although I think Bunny comics probably has better one sentence descriptions.

[Xocrates]

Any word limit? Otherwise one could just write a really long sentence

So, (using more technical descriptions instead of "theme" descriptions)

Darwinia: Innovative strategy game with retro-visuals

Multiwinia: Straightforward, fast paced, multiplayer strategy game (with retro-visuals)

[Wasgood]

Darwinia : Awesome 3D strategy action to achieve many goals.
Multiwinia: Battle with (or against!) your friends and enemy's in a 3D strategy environment.

[ynbniar]

Darwinia

An emotional single-player experience as you battle to save Darwina's digital dreamworld from a virus outbreak.

Multiwinia

Take control of your own Multiwinian army and rampage across Darwinia's digital battlefields in this fast and brutal multiplayer RTS.

[xyzyxx]

Darwinia: A game with an engaging story where you have to save the Darwinians from extinction.

Multiwinia: A game with no story where you blow stuff up.

[TomCat39]

Darwinia: The ultimate multimission campaign of the flattest people you'll ever come to love!

I'll have to think on Multiwinia. Will post once I think of something I like.

[Romanu]

Darwinia: Flattitude in a Digital Dreamscape

[TomCat39]

Multiwinia: The adrenaline pumping, fast paced, intense online battles of the paper thin people. (Disclaimer: Not for the faint of heart.)

Or combined

Multiwinia: The adrenaline pumping, fast paced, intense online battles of the paper thin people for the non-faint of hearts.

[cheesemoo0]

Both: A titular game with a new age retro feel that does not heed today's collective idea of a game.

(Will be edited later when I'm less busy for a less crappy sentence and one for each)

[martin]

Darwinia: quite a hard game to summarise in one sentance

Multiwinia: multiplayer summarisation difficulties

[NeatNit]

Multiwinia: Challenge your opponent to a game of stick-man slaughter and witness devastating digital-war unfold! (Why do we need a new one? By the way for those of you who don't know, it's in the Multiwinia homepage www.multiwinia.com)

[coolsi]

Darwinia: not very entertaining or engaging
Multiwinia: more of the same
