Hog Wars
This is a recreation of the Heroes of the Storm Brawl, Stitches Pull Party. Here is some YouTube footage (not mine) of the original mode it is based on.
In-Game Mode Description
Two teams of six hogs face off across a "water" barrier separating the map. Hook someone across and melee them with your team. Teamwork counts! Combo-hook someone while they are already hooked by a player to instantly kill them. Bring your friends on the other side back to safety! Friendly fire is "enabled" and you can hook your teammates back to your side! If you can't save them you can combo-hook and deny the opposing team the kill for 0 points.
This was a passion project and took about 3 weeks to get to a releasable build. Actual in-game screenshots, videos, and info to come
