Tiki Tapa Multiplayer

Multiplayer Challenges

This is the most important addition to the game! In this post i will take you through how to use this feature in the game and what the point of this feature is.

First thing is first check out the new Main Menu layout!


Because we had to add more options to the menu such as Multiplayer and Pundit corner we could not keep it as a Row of buttons so now we have grouped the buttons the Top 3:
  • ARCADE
  • CAREER
  • MULTIPLAYER

will lead the starting the game while the Bottom 3:
  • LEADERBOARDS
  • YOUR LEGACY
  • SETTINGS

will keep you within the main menu.

So to use the Multiplayer feature you will obviously have to click on the Multiplayer Button which can have a notification circle on it depending on whether or not you have any incoming challenges or results from other games that you have sent out! 


Once in the Multiplayer view you will see 4 options:


  • QUICK MATCH
  • MATCHES
  • VS FRIENDS
  • RESULTS

 QUICK MATCH

Selecting this option will open up a view to select which difficulty you would like this challenge to be (EASY, MEDIUM, HARD) as shown below.


Once you have selected a difficulty the game will look for an opponent suitable for you, this means who has won around the same amount of BALON'DORADOs as you. I have currently won it 2 times so it will look for opponents who have won it around 2 times could be 1/2/3/4.

(I will explain how to win a BALON'DORADO later in this post.)

Once an opponent has been found you will see a dialog like this:

You can earn TT Dollars by playing the game :) its as simple as that the more you play the more you can get, plus if you want a handful you can always get some from the Stadium Gift Shop. 

Which explains the details of this challenge! The challenge is vs someone called syncNexus who has won the BALON'DORADO once and another piece of information which is vital is the COST so to start this challenge is will cost 25 TT Dollars! The challenge cost varies on which difficulty you selected:-
  • EASY - 25 TT Dollars
  • MEDIUM - 50 TT Dollars 
  • HARD - 100 TT Dollars
the more you pay the more you are trying to win so if you win a challenge you will get your cost back + the opponents TT Dollars too for example, if you were to challenge someone on HARD then you would have to use 100 TT Dollars the wait for opponent to complete the challenge if they lose then you receive 200 TT Dollars but if you lose then no more TT Dollars will be taken away!

MATCHES

If you have any in coming challenges then this button will be available otherwise this button will be turned off. Once you click Matches all your on going matches should appear in a list like below:



The Information is set out in a simple manner.

Name - Difficulty - Score to beat

So if i press any of these the game invite dialog would pop up along a Head to head stat displayer:


This shows the current score between me and my opponent if we have any previous history!

Winning the BALON'DORADO

To win the Balon'Dorado you need to get fill the Balon'Dorado which is the blue progress bar next to the trophy:


Mine is pretty much empty as i just won a trophy and it reset back to 0. But once you have enough points to fill this bar you would have won a Balon'Dorado trophy!

To get Balon'Dorado points you need to win Multiplayer challenges! the harder the difficulty the more points you will be rewarded with! 

  • EASY - 10 Balon'Dorado points
  • MEDIUM - 15 Balon'Dorado points
  • HARD - 30 Balon'Dorado points

Well thats it! Thats the multiplayer feature all wrapped up! i know this dragged along a bit, Sorry.
