Curve Fever (short cf or cf2. ), Also known under the name Warning, the curve! 2, or Zatacka , is a free browser game that can be played by two to eight players. This computer game was developed by Geert van den Burg and Robin Brouns . It's a remake of the video game Watch out for the curve! .

Gameplay

The game shows similarities to the game Snake : You control a constantly lengthening "curve". As soon as you touch the wall, your own line or that of an opponent, you are eliminated, but the curve remains. The aim of the game is to survive longer than the opponents.

The player controls the curve with just two buttons: one can turn the curve to the left, the other to the right. The curves do not bend abruptly, as is the case with Snake , for example , but rather bend gradually and can not fall below a certain minimum radius .

The player units appear at random locations on the map and move at a constant speed until they collide or win. Skilful steering can take away space from opponents and force them to make mistakes.

The curve stops at random intervals and forms gaps through which you can maneuver with a little skill. To win, a player must have a total of .

The game has 25 powerups that have various effects on your own curve (green), other curves (red) or on the game in general (blue). For example, you can increase your own speed, reduce the size of the map or invert the left-right control of the opponents. In addition, online features such as ingame chat, private communication options between players, a friend list and a forum enliven the game.

At the start of the game, you can choose one of the two servers (Europe, America), create a game room yourself as a host , or join an existing room.

This game is limited to its basic functions, free of charge, but with a paid premium account it offers additional features such as no advertising, an unlimited friend list, participation in official tournaments and more individual, as well as many more options for creating leeway with regard to powerups, number of players ( up to eight players per card possible) or value of the game ( ranked games). Team games are also possible with a premium account. The official tournaments usually take place monthly, in alternating game modes, and are only playable for premium members. The first three players or teams receive an extension of their premium account or a large number of coins . The winner (s) will receive a crown icon and an extra reward for special tournaments.

Curve colors (white, purple, rasta , rainbow colors , arctic , lava , rainbow , silver , gold , candy and jungle ), five powerups and a large number of icons can be set with an in-game currency, the coins, which you receive for the completed playing time , which are visible in front of the account name in the game.

There are also five achievements that are obtained through special achievements in the game. Each of these unlocks a further power-up when the corresponding success is achieved.

The rank shows the strength of each player . There are three different ranks : FFA (everyone against everyone), team (team games) and 1v1 (duels), which are calculated on the basis of the Elo system , comparable to chess. When registering an account, each of the three ranks has a value of 700. As of February 5, 2015, the users are sam_pum and Shinkansen (1963; 1v1); Cut (2504; FFA) and theRealMadridcf (2438; team) the world rankings.

Hidden Monster Games announced on August 22, 2019 that they would end support for Curve Fever 2 on September 2, 2019.

This is due to the fact that Flash will no longer be supported from the end of 2020 and the falling number of players.

Clans

In Curve Fever there using an additional communities side the opportunity to clans together and in common than syndicate called against corresponding other clans Clan Wars to dispute. There is also a comparable ranking system on the clan side, each clan starts with 1000 points when it is founded. Clan wars can be played as 1v1 games as well as team games (up to 4 against 4), whereby game rounds increase in value the more players compete for a clan.

Each clan has a clan leader who determines new members and can remove existing members from the clan. Here, too, there are various communication options, for example via a clan chat, a message function or a kind of pin board. At the end of 2014 there are also achievements on the clan page.

Until December 2016 there was a monthly clan tournament which, unlike the other tournaments, does not require a premium account.

In 2014 , the offline single player game Flappy Curve , which was invented by Ateri , was released as a mixture of the mobile game Flappy Bird and Curve Fever . The game is completely free and funded through voluntary donations.

The task here is to make the curve with the arrow keys on the keyboard through holes, the position of which varies, without touching the wall or the obstacles, which ends the game. Starting from level 1 (very slow), the curve becomes faster from level to level and the aisles become more treacherous. In addition, the playing surface begins to rotate after a while. The graphic is based on that of Curve Fever. There are four game modes that differ only in the starting point ( easy level 1; medium level 2; hard level 3 and expert level 4).

There are also powerups that can be bought here, which make the game easier, or bring more coins, with which you can buy curve colors and other powerups , comparable to Curve Fever .

Points are obtained for passing a hole (the narrower, the more), the "survived" game time, bonuses for completed levels and bonuses through powerups. You receive one coin for each hole you pass.

After the game is over, you have the opportunity to enter yourself in an online ranking list.

information On June 1, 2018, Curve Fever 3 was switched off due to the low number of players.

The successor title, Curve Fever 3 , was released on August 29, 2016. The gameplay differs significantly from the previous versions in some points.

Here the new arena feature stands out, in which you are randomly thrown into a game with players from all over the world. There are three different arenas available in which players are randomly assigned to one another. Depending on the final position in the arena, the player wins or loses a number of coins that grows with increasing arena number. The coins can be converted into other curve designs in the shop, e.g. B. snail, dragon or lizard, which differ for example in thickness, speed or turning circle are invested. Items can also be bought in this way. Further gameplay innovations in Curve Fever 3 are the permeable walls. While up to Curve Fever 2 touching the walls resulted in the elimination of one's own curve, it now appears on the other side of the playing surface when passing the wall. In the arena games there is no host who determines the items to be played with. Each player now has the opportunity to add their own item of their choice to the game. Items are selected randomly from this item pool for each game round. The playing field was also made smaller and the games cut in half. For example, a game with six players in the arena ends when the first player reaches 25 points. Arena 1 has a knockout mode, i.e. H. after each round of the game, the last placed player is eliminated.

A ranking system was added to the game a few months after its release. As with Curve Fever 2 , this is based on the Elo system. The rank is partially reset after each season. Based on their rank, the players are divided into different leagues. The highest league Grand Masters differs from the others in that, regardless of the absolute level of the rank of its players, it is always composed of the 100 currently highest rated players.

In addition to the Arena mode, there is the Custom Games mode , in which hosts can create their own game rooms, reminiscent of Curve Fever 2 . In this mode, the games still have their original length. Both FFA games, in which the player can choose between the curve designs, and Classic games, in which the curve type is the same for all players, are possible. However, there is no ranking in the Custom Games . The official tournaments are played in Custom Games mode. Team games are not possible in Curve Fever 3.

On June 1, 2018, Curve Fever 3 was switched off due to the low number of players.
