### [Crate Before Attack][cba-site]

[![Leaderboard Histogram](crate-before-attack.gif)][cba-site]
_Interactive Histogram with Race Results_

[Crate Before Attack][cba-site] by [koalefant (@CrateAttack)][@CrateAttack]
is a skill-based multiplayer game where frogs fight and race using their sticky
tongues as grappling hooks.

A [browser build][cba-play] can be played online.

Changes since last update:

- Added a global leaderboard that visualizes Race and Training results in an
interactive histogram.
- Tweaked frogs physics to make them more bouncy, added an option that would
keep tongue connected as long as a key is being pressed.
- [Online Ghosts][cba-youtube-ghosts] were added. One can now compete with real
players instead of AI when playing Race mode.
- Improved load-times: level graphics is now quantized with an 8-bit palette,
signed distance fields that are used for collisions are now generated offline.
Downloads are cached in an IndexedDB, so subsequent starts are even faster.
- Multiple bugs were fixed.

More details are in [September][cba-september-update] and
[October][cba-october-update] DevLog entries and in
[YouTube-channel][cba-youtube].
