Watermelon Smash

Watermelon Smash is a asymetrical multiplayer game designed originally for minimum 3 players:

• the first player plays the human, who must smash the watermelon. They dosen't have the right to see the screen.
• the second player plays the watermelon, who must flee the human. They do have the right to see the screen.
• the third player (or more) plays the spectator, who must indicate to the human where the watermelon is. They do have the right to see the screen

I tried to make solo player modes, the 1P Mode dosen't work really well, I couldn't figure how to code an AI for the watermelon... and the Watermelon Mode dosen't really shine because the Ai for the human is just to follow and spam attacking.

I recommend you to play locally with many players, or with Parsec.

It was fun working with this game, if I had organized myself better, it would have looked better graphically...! sorry.
