KNOW THE TORB Episode: SHIELD/PUSH
A new KNOW THE TORB!
This episode is about shieldin' and pushin', which are the same thing in TORB. The shield emanates from the crystalline center of the character outwards repelling weapons and attacks. Because it moves out rapidly, when timed correctly, the shield can also push physical objects with great force. This can double as an attack when used in the right environment, or it can be used to make physical objects dangerous projectiles!
A bonus feature of the shield is that it re-stabilizes the character, recovering them from being stunned from a strong attack or fall.
There are lots of crazy uses for the shield, try using it in a team VS match to boost each other! Make up new Crystal Techniques and share them on our TORB Discord!

Chops and Bops
Torb is a game about playful combat. We removed all animations from the players and enemies, handing over the dynamics to a simplified physical world. Every movement is tied to springs, joints and wheels that you trigger in simple, familiar ways to produce true free-form combat.
The combat feels extremely "loose" at first, probably because most games about sword fighting are extremely stiff. It doesn't take long to find the rhythm and fluidity of the character's movement, and you realize you can get very creative about how you approach the game play. There are so many styles you can explore, invent and even apply from real world techniques.
Lately we have been working in a new combat sandbox, testing different weapons with different weights and pivot joints. Here's a video of some fun things we are discovering!
