In Rose and Camellia, the player steps into the high heels of an aristocrat, working her way up the social ladder and earning respect among her peers. This is achieved by engaging them in an age-old tradition of slapping each other on the cheeks until one succumbs to her opponent.
The roses shown at the bottom of the screen indicates each combatant's strength. To attack, simply move the mouse from the bottom right of the screen to the upper left. The slap will be successfully executed if the line drawn crosses her cheek. Click on the evasion button to avoid your opponent's attacks, then launch your own counter attack quickly with a similar move. Move the cursor from the bottom left of the screen to the bottom right to sidestep a slap.
The gauge at the top left of the screen indicates the current player's turn, while the number of roses shown at the top right represents the selected difficulty setting.
UBM TechWeb (producer of Game Developer magazine, Gamasutra.com, and the Game Developers Conference) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.
The competition, now in its 13th year, awarded a total of nearly $50,000 in prizes to deserving indie creators in Main Competition and Student Competition categories at the IGF Awards Ceremony, held in March 2010 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA, as one of the highlights of the Game Developers Conference.
The Independent Games Festival will return in March 2011 at GDC in San Francisco - look for more information soon. [More information...]
