Get Lightbulbs

Hello there. As I'm sure everyone who's anyone knows, I actually made this crazy game a while ago. Well, I've been busy with school and stuff, so I haven't had a chance to actually post it until now.

Now I know you care deeply about how this little beauty came to be, so allow me to tell you its story...

Several months ago, I was messing around in Forge, and Timeless161 (AKA Morphine) happened into my party. Uninteresting things filled our conversation until he mentioned an idea for a minigame he had, but never actually made. It was to be an assault game in which the attackers had to fight to the top of a ramp to score, but every time the bomb carrier died, the bomb would roll back down the ramp. I messed around with the concept for another while, and I eventually settled on what you see here.

NOTE There should be a flare in front of the bomb spawn.

Pretty, isn't it?

Don't worry. It's just the first version.

Remember Phone is on hold? Yeah. I'm doing that thing again where I release the version I used for testing so that I can get better feedback on the game before I make the nice version.

Get Lightbulbs

Welcome to the real start of the thread. That was merely the fake start.

Get Lightbulbs is a One-sided Assault-based minigame. The attackers start at the bottom of a large ramp and must make it to the top to score. There are several obstacles in their way, including the defenders, who have choppers.

And blocks. Every so often there is an avalanche of blocks.

____________________________________________________________

The Attackers spawn in a sealed room and take teleporters to enter the map. The teleporters on the right side take them to the right side of the spawn platform, and the teleporters on the left side take them to the left.

The custom power ups prevent them from hijacking the choppers.

They also have several weapons at their disposal, including fire bomb grenades, a flare, trip mines, and rocket launchers. They, however don't do any damage. The fire bombs and flares are to blind people. The trip mines and rocket launchers are to move them.

____________________________________________________________

The defenders spawn at the top of the ramp next to their choppers.

The shield doors in front of their spawns allow them to land smoothly.

IMPORTANT There can be a maximum of four defenders because there are only four choppers.How to round teams:
7 players: 2 defenders and 5 attackers
8 players: 3 defenders and 5 attackers

Gameplay

As I mentioned before, when the bomb carrier dies, the bomb rolls back down the ramp. If it reaches the bottom it will fall out of the map, and it will not reset for fifteen seconds.

The bomb (the blocks, the weapons, the vehicles, the corpses) roll down the ramp.

The block-valanche is very dangerous if you're not careful.

See those mancannons? They're why.

If you're careful though, you can live.

At the bottom of the ramp, below the attackers' spawn platform, are shield doors. They prevent choppers from rolling out of the map if they flip while still allowing the blocks fall from the arena.
