Streamline on Steam
Streamline on Steam
Streamline is a frantically fun multiplayer action game with deep Twitch integration. As a Hunter, chase down and smack the Runners. As a Runner, compete for points and stay far away from the Hunter's swinging stop sign.
So this game is free for the next 24 hours (significantly less maybe by the time you read this), and is normally listed at $19.99, so if you like free stuff...
It's apparently designed for streaming (hence...STREAMline) in some way, like I guess how Beam works...you can log in through the Streamline website and mess around with people's games by throwing obstacles in their path or helping them out. It seems (from the videos) like a high-speed game of tag, mainly.
I'm checking out their "Streamote" right now, and you vote on what you want to happen, and the effect with the most votes gets implemented (like ghosts that attack runners, or by turning the floor into lava). There's also a game of BINGO where you click icons based on what's going on in the game, and if you click them all, you win and get announced on the site.
Kinda cool idea. The game is free, anyway, so why not?




That sounds fun! One of my favorite min-games in Wizard101 was tag, and this sounds very similar. I'm going to have to try this one out!
OMG I am watching this on their site and it's hilarious.
First, you get points...somehow. I started with 10,000 and now have 10,308. You use these to BET on who in the current game will win.
You use points to BUY rules. I guess that whichever rule gets the most buys is implemented, and everyone else gets a refund, but the rules are things like no double jumping, and last through the whole game.
Then you get voting rules. These pop up every few minutes, and you can select one of three. After a few minutes, voting closes and the rule goes into effect.
As the rules go into effect, you get a BINGO card. If a rule comes up and you have it on your card, you click it off and hopefully get bingo.
Overall, I think you get points for bettering, picking the temp rule that goes into effect, and winning at bingo. And you use points to buy whole game rules.
I can get behind this kind of thing! It's a lot more fun than just watching and hiding from the general chat!
I just finished playing a match and OMG...this is so freakin' FUN! I love all the things that get thrown at you when you are playing. I'll be in the middle of trying to stay away from the hunter and, suddenly....BAM! Gravity boots. Or, the floor is lava. Or, slow motion.
I am so buying this! I normally hate PvP/arena type games, but this one is awesome. There's no talking to people, so there's no real "griefing." Yeah, people can punch me while I'm running around, but I don't care about that. As long as no one can be nasty to me, I don't care if they beat me to a pulp in-game.
No! Go look it up on Steam RIGHT NOW. You can get it for free for 24 hours! No purchase necessary.
Sorry, I thought you were just watching it...I misread.
Oh! So, it's not just a free trial? I get it forever?
Yep. That's the deallio right now!
Haha! No worries. :D
But, yeah. I am buying this one. This is hilarious and exciting and light-hearted. It's plain, ol' FUN.
YEEEEESSSS! I just saw where you do get it free, no purchase. (I was kind of confused there for a few minutes.) I am going to play the bejesus out of this.
