C.H.A.M.P.This is a variant of the Basketball game HORSE, for PogoChamp.
This mode is for 2 players, but could probably be modified to support more.
The game is first to 5 points. Players take turns competing in individual levels, alternating “Attack” and “Defense”.Steps* If the Attacker completes a level but still has attempts remaining, they can try the level again, but only the final attempt counts as the challenge time.
- Attacking player picks a level that hasn’t been chosen yet.
- Attacking player has 5 attempts to complete the level.
- If they beat the level, that becomes the challenge time*, and move on to step 3.
- If they don’t beat the level, the next player becomes the attacker, and you repeat step 2.
- Defending player now has 5 attempts to beat the challenge time on that level.
- If they don’t beat the time in their 5 attempts, the attacker gains a point.
- The Defending player becomes the new Attacker, go to step 1.
SetupTo see what the other person is doing, you’ll both need to be screensharing. You can do this by going into a Discord voice channel and both picking “Stream” (doing it in a direct call will replace the other person’s stream). Feel free to use the #stream-1, #stream-2, etc channels in the PogoChamp Discord for this. I can also create additional channels that only allow 2 people if you want to play privately..
This works best with multiple monitors, but should be fine if you only have 1, you’ll just need to swap back and forth if you want to watch the other person’s attempts.
When you set a challenge time, just leave your game on the replay, so the other person can watch it & compare / plan their route. This will also prevent the need to remember what the challenge time was exactly, because the replay shows the time.Variations & Optional Rules
- You can change the number of attempts from 5 to any other number you want. WaltzingDucks and I found that 3 or 5 felt pretty good, but we’re also probably the 2 most experienced PogoChamp players in the world, hahah. If the experience/skill level difference of the two players is big, you can give players different numbers of attempts as a way to make it more fair.
- Level Veto: you can add in some number of Vetoes that people can use to force the attacker to choose a different level. These can either be done at the beginning of the match, or after a player picks a level you can have the option to veto it.
