Serverfight

2011 personal project

Presentation

Serverfight is a web game that you can play in your browser. It's about maintaining your own server farm, hacking other people's servers and playing various minigame in a "Web OS"-like environment featuring a fake console with various commands.

Here is a video kindly made by MaitreChocobo to introduce the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9mTkb-BbLI (french)
