World of Padman

A cartoonish first-person-shooter where toys blast each other with plastic guns in and around a gamer's home.

WoP began as a Quake III Arena mod but became a standalone game after ID Tech 3 (the Q3A engine) was opensourced. WoP has no Capture the Flag mode as Q3A and no a single player campaign (currently, 2011-05) but bots of various skill levels are provided as opponents for offline and online play. Every mode includes scoring points. It is multiplayer focused. It has no health powerups items, rather health is restored at revival stations. Unique modes featured in WoP include Spray Your Color, Big Balloon, and Last Pad Standing. Spray Your Color involves claiming as many rooms as possible by blasting your logo on a wall in each. But, ink to blast your logo with can only be collected from an enemy player. SYC can be played with or without teams. Big Balloon involves camping at a balloon to claim it then camping to make it grow. It is only played with teams. Points are awarded for claiming, minimum size passed and maximum size reached. Plus bonuses for claiming multiple balloons. Last Pad Standing is a tightly designed free-for-all where the HUD is limited and there is a 'here I am' marker that makes camping the most likely cause of death for the camper. Each player in LPS is allotted a set number of lives and becomes a spectator on lose their last one. Last one standing receives a massive score bonus (nearly always resulting in winning).
