Mesh Replica

Mesh Replica is a multiplayer game of Slugs hiding from Hunters while trying to reach a score goal. Up to 12 players can be Slugs and up to 4 can be Hunters; matches last up to 10 minutes, depending on the number of players. Slugs win if all Hunters are dead at the same time, while Hunters win if all Slugs are dead at once. Slugs also lose if they fail to reach the score goal, even if one is still alive.

Play as a Slug

You earn points by staying transformed into the same object for 10 seconds, with larger objects worth more. Slugs can regroup for a score boost, and objects spawn randomly across the map, so Hunters may not know whether an object is a player. Slugs lose health if they hit anything other than a Slug. Health pickups appear on every map.

Slugs can jump, transform randomly and taunt, actions that help keep their expertise gauges up but can also expose their location or attract Hunters. Their special abilities are Invisibility, Leap, which teleports a short distance forward but cannot pass through solid surfaces such as walls, and Snare mine, which can trap Hunters. Freeze mode switches to a third-person view and locks your movement; you can activate it in mid-air. When you die, you return after a brief period of exile.

Play as a Hunter

You hunt Slugs to stop them reaching the score goal. Your special abilities are Sensor, which tracks Slugs; Reveal, which shows what objects they have transformed into; Blackout, which plunges them into darkness; Security Camera, which gives you a view into Slug territory; and Grenade. Hunters lose health if they hit anything other than a Slug. When you die, you return after a brief period of exile.

Random events

Random events can make Slugs jump, taunt or transform at any moment, adding another unpredictable element to each match.
