Gameplay

For The Hoard! is a game about a loot goblin that is addicted to collecting loot. The Gobbo King demands endless loot, and you, the tireless loot goblin, will gladly oblige. Frantically run around in this online multiplayer game with your friends to smash pots, bust open treasure chests, and collect as much valuable loot as you can.

Multiplayer is passive. There is nothing special you need to do to join and play with others. You will automatically join into a shared server and enjoy the frenzy together.

The game was created for Ludum Dare 58 with the theme "Collector". Inspired by the dopamine hits from collecting loot in Diablo and the cute little loot goblins you love to crack open like pinatas.
