Bound Assault
An interactive Bounding Defense game.

•Play continuous bounds on the left side 3x3 square.
•Where ever you stand on the left, will kill the corresponding square on the right (indicated by the Scourge).
•Stop on-coming units from reaching the bottom.
•Try not to let your Zergling die (too much)

Unit Reaching Bottom = -1 Life
Zergling Dying = -1 Life

Right now I plan on respawning at the safe area on the bottom, since It's closer to the end of the defense Area.

Obstacles will run for a set amount of time (15 seconds?) before changing to the next level.
After every 5 obstacles, all Players will join at the middle for a bonus mini-game.
Mini-game prizes will be lives, or maybe items ( ex. Kill all units for 5 seconds, invincible, etc. )
After the mini-game you will go back to your square, where the obstacles will get harder, unit patterns change, and every 5 levels the unit coming down will change.
Trying to find the slowest small units, already have high temp. <--Advice?

Note: Standing on 2 squares won't kill both squares. The square you most recently touched, or the square you are completely standing on will be the one the scourge moves to.

Game will be mostly competition, but players that lose are free to stay and watch, and game won't end until everybody is dead.

Any suggestions, criticism, comments, and hate-mail are welcome and appreciated.


Thanks to MNeox for partially coming up with this idea.

Relatively ancient and inactive

Sounds fun. One of the better bound-other combinations I've seen. Good luck with it!

Sounds very interesting. I personally wouldn't play it because I suck at bounds, and this seems a bajillion times harder.

I'm ganna try to start out with obs that are ridiculously easy, and gradually move to some medium ones.
Not ganna have any hard ones, because it would be weird trying to concentrate on something hard and the other square at the same time.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
