FOO is a unique "sneak, steal and trap em up" game of malicious pleasure with game play summarized as "Thief" meets "Spy vs. Spy".
You take the role of a Disneyesque ruthless burglar in ancient China. The game challenges you and your competitors to enter palaces and temples at dawn, and loot them for as much valuables as you can carry with you and escape before the sun rises. Before you set out, you carefully plan what traps to bring with you to plant in the palace for your competitors. But be aware, the more trap components you carry with you, the less valuables you'll be able to carry and the slower you'll move and be able to react to the traps set out by the other players.
One of the most interesting aspects of the game is the Architectural Generator Engine that, when you play in randomly created level mode, builds a new and unique level every time you play. This is an internally developed, highly sophisticated file hierarchy system that allows random generation of geometry (static and/or animated), texturing, sound, character spawning and any game play element.
One additional feature of the game is obviously that of malicious pleasure seeing your opponents suffer the brutal effects of your traps as you can get to view the action in real-time once an opponent closes in on a trap set up by you.
Key features:
- The Architectural Generator Engine guarantees a unique level and game experience every time you play in random level game mode.
- Highly detailed hand painted textures to truly capture the feeling of a Disney cartoon.
- Six different characters to choose from; the Dragon, the Tiger, the Ape, the Panda, The Bunny and the Rat. Each with advantages and disadvantages. Choose one that fits your style of playing, may it be fast and brutal or paced and cunning.
- Numerous trap components and triggers ensure that every player can tailor his own tactic weighing speed against brutality.
- Find valuables that give you access to more rare and powerful trap components.
- View death scene animations in real-time as your opponents suffer your traps.
- Challenge your friends to battle for the title of Master of Thieves over a LAN network or the Internet.
- Action-paced original score and sound effects, capturing the raw but humorus feel of the game.
