Rama Rama (Gaming Fun/Installation)

[Andrew Muelhausen, 2014]
Rama-Rama is a site-specific collaborative fort building video game that pits two civilizations against each other in an attempt to destroy the other team’s fort. It takes place in a two-walled “tent” in which every surface is covered with projections. Opposing walls are touch-activated, and the ceiling forms a sort of “level” with treacherous gravity wells, wall behaviors, and your disgusting opponents’ projectiles. Play as the Gallant Fish-Race, the Greedy Lava-Javas, the Morally-Questionable Robots, or the Dessert-Rulers of the Sur-lands – each with customized tile sets for building your fort and customized balls for destroying your opponents.
