Wrath: Appease or Die! is a retro 2.5D game in which both players must make sacrifices and mayhem in order to appease the gods.
If running wrath.exe, there are no other requirements.
If running OS X 10.6, use the executable (Wrath.app), which has no dependencies. If not, the only option is running from source (details below).
Source for Linux (or Windows/OS X if not using the executable)If running from source, users must install the Ruby interpreter and some rubygems. Linux users must also install some extra dependencies for Gosu.
sudo apt-get install xsel
If the Bundler gem isn’t already installed, that can be installed with:
gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
In the game’s main directory (with Gemfile in it), use Bundler to automatically install the correct gem versions:
bundle install
May need to use ruby19 rather than ruby. Depends how you installed Ruby 1.9.2!
ruby bin/wrath.rbw
On each level, the players (priests) have to attempt to sacrifice animals, people or treasures on the altar, in order to appease the gods and avoid the worst of their wrath. From sacrifice, the player gains holy favour (white bar) and the first to achieve a given level of favour wins. A priest also must avoid being killed. Losing all your health (red bar) will lead to losing the game.
Priests can move using 4 directional keys and and also perform an action. An action can be pick up, throw, sacrifice, use A on B, etc., depending on context and is initiated using a single key. Controls can be configured in Options→Controls.
2 players sharing a keyboardPlayer 1 controls the priest on the left-hand side. Player 2 controls the priest on the right-hand side.
Note: The game only supports a single gamepad, so only one of the players may use one at a time. Enable this in Options→Controls.
2 players connected over the Internet/LANThe host will need to ensure that the port (which can be configured) is open in their router if playing across the Internet. If this is not possible, it is recommended using something like Hamachi 2 to avoid this.
Host controls the left-hand priest. Client controls the right-hand priest.
Wrath saves per-user settings in the ~/.wrath_spooner folder (This is probably C:\Users\MyUsername\.wrath_spooner\ on Windows). If you have problems, deleting this folder will return you to default settings.
