DESCRIPTION:
◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦
Tag is a game that usually involves two or more players attempting to "tag" other players by touching them with an object, usually their hands. BOOOOOOOOORING! Storm Assassin is a revamp of the classic tag game by allowing the Assassin (it) to use spells to help him/her achieve total victory over another! But be warned, the next Assassin can do the same in retribution!

GAMEPLAY DETAILS:
◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦
Playing as the Storm Assasin, you are given the ability to cloak, ensnare, and storm your targets. Be careful though, because your prey each have their own unique strengths and can fight back if they dare!

Playing as a Runner, you are being hunted but you are also granted the ability to build obstacles and other objects to impede the path of the Storm Assassin.

You may choose one of three distinct runner types, below is a quick description of each:

Runner Drone:
Able to regenerate hit points over a period of time, the Runner Drone has forsaken armor and rigidity. With its diminutive health, the Runner Drone makes up by being able to create the strongest defender of the other two runner types, however it is only capable of creating eight of them.

Runner SCV:
The strongest runner type with more armor and health, the Runner SCV is capable of mobile (but relatively weak) defense and is responsible for the construction of the strongest obstacle that you can find on any course. Though building structures takes time for the Runner SCV to complete.

Runner Probe:
The mediocre yet shielded Runner Probe is able to start construction by warping in a building and immediately start construction on another. The Runner Probe with its nimble construction is capable of making the most well-rounded defender with a decent attack speed and range.

On the course, you will encounter two types of Warp holes as well as instant walls, though no body can tell you where the warp hole will take you and when and where the walls will appear.

DANGER: BACKSTABBING CONSTANTLY WILL END THE GAME. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BACKSTABBING.
