Team Syntax Error brings you the first game with sensible use for the controller rumble, created in less than 48 hours during the Global Game Jam 2010. WTFAQL received an honorable mention by the #GGJ2010 judges and was featured at #Indigo 2010.

4 players.
1 traitor.

The idea of the game is fairly simple. There is a cart rolling upward in a long -with monsters filled- cave, but it’s light is quickly fading. When the fire extinguishes, the team loses the game. By grabbing fuel from the cart’s surroundings and throwing it in the cart, they may have a chance to get to the end and win the game.

But, at the beginning of the game, one of the players will feel a short rumble. This indicates that he is the traitor, or the ‘spy’. He must make sure the fire extinguishes before they reach the end of the tunnel.

All players are able to strike the monsters to make them go away, but be careful not to hit your fellow players too – it will slow them. This negative effect is the core tool of the spy, but he alone has some more powers that will effect the group. Color swapping: the moment everybody is yelling ‘IT’S RED, IT’S RED!’, the spy hits the button and he might not be red anymore. Inverted controls: choke points are hard, choke points with inverted controls are harder.
