Play Overview
Meet Your Maker (2023) is a traversal game where you try and get through bases filled with traps and hazards, the twist is that each of these has been made by other players. You run, jump, and grapple through these player-made labyrinths, defeating enemies and avoiding deadly traps. Do this well and you unlock new parts with which to build your own bases. It stands out for the way you can build off ideas found in other people's bases to create your own devious designs, in a loop that results in ever-evolving ideas.
In a ruined, post-apocalyptic world, you play a Custodian of the Chimera, a warrior designed to hunt down scarce DNA. You work through other players' bases to level up and gain resources, which you can then use to make or expand your own base's defences. But if you die you start again from the beginning.
When in a base, you avoid deadly traps that can appear at any moment (spikes, explosives and the like) and defeat enemies using the scant ammunition at your disposal. You have a grappling hook to reach more distant areas.
When building your own stage, you define its size, shape, and layout, as well as the placement of enemies, traps, and hazards like lava pits. Whether you choose to create a demanding platforming gauntlet or a maze filled with enemies, the decision is up to you.
The result is a game where you're free to create whatever trials and challenges you can think of, then watch on as players attempt to overcome them. Both beating someone else's stage after countless attempts and making your own is equally satisfying.
