Tofurkey Shoot

For those of you who don't know of the delicious thanksgiving day feast alternative, here it is in all it's glory. It's the vegan/vegetarian solution to the turkey.

I made this map for a thanksgiving themed mini game building competition at xforgery.com. People seem to like it so I guess I'll post it over here...

Players: 4+

So here is the premise for this map. The Tofurkeys are on the loose and must be shot down otherwise you and you're fellow colonists will starve to death this winter. However the Tofurkeys very much enjoy being alive and do everything in their power to escape.

The game plays out as follows, Tofurkeys launch themselves out of this cannon

Their goal is to head towards a giant floating target in the sky. Their goal is to jump while spawning in order to maneuver themselves towards the center of the target.

The way the scoring works is as follows:
Center: 25 Points
Middle Ring: 10 Points
Outer Ring: 5 Points

The way I setup the scoring system is with a KoTH game type, when a player goes through the center they come out at the highest teleporter, scoring the most points in the hill before they die.

There is of course shooting involved in this game and that's where the defenders come in. As this game is one sided the other team works to shoot down the flying tofurkeys before they hit the target and score points.

The rounds in this game are very short only 60 seconds for each of them. 6 rounds in total.

Well that's basically it, have fun and any criticism is welcome.

I like the originality of this map, although it may look like duck hunt i like the idea of people scoring through different teleporter channels and hill positions. The aesthetics the map are great too. 5/5

amazing map. Duck hunting fans will really enjoy this map. And the turkeys are not only trying to survive but they are also aiming for a target too. Very clever! 5/5

When I saw this, the name for the map, I was like, "Oh No! Another person just copying DUCK HUNT." Then when I started reading and looking at the photos, its just an amazing add on to it in a way. You basically shoot turkeys, and instead of the turkeys-ducks, having nothing to do besides try and live, they can go through a dart board and score points in the Hill. Thats and amazing idea. Nobody, well that I believe, has ever made this map, or thought of making a map similar to this one. This is simply perfection. This would be so much fun with like a party of 8. Which I believe was the max for the party. SHOOT THOSE TURKEYS! Haha, oppps, Tofurkey Shoot. An amazing map sir. Great Job.

its the vegetarian alternative to duck hunt :P the target is very well made as is the cannon however i would like it if the tofureky ( lol that was so fun to type) had some way to defend themselves like a flare our a regenerator still a good map but it feels a little to much like duck hunt and that is definitely not a bad thing
a 4/5

Awesome map idea! You know, I thought it was something like Duck Hunt, but it was so different. The defenders bunker is beautifully crafted, and likewise the scoring system and the portal thingies are amazing. In a usually awesome map, I would say keep it up. But know, I feel the right thing to say would be...

Yeah thats about it.

wow...
this is freaking amazing. i love the target system. the scoring system in so awesome! great job. 10/10, major DL. it would also be cool to have just the tofurkies, and not the colonist guys.
btw, im a vegitarian but i dont eat tofu

This may be the most fun mini game map I've ever seen on Standoff. Great work on the map layout. A point system in a Duck Hunt scenerio is very original (I seriously never would have thought of that...). My only complaint would be that BRs should be used instead of carbines, because I don't think the carbines will be accurate enough to get a good amount of hits. Still this map deserves a 5/5. Great job on the map and gameplay!
