Spleef Gametypes:
Sudden Death Spleef
Sudden death Spleef is a variant of Spleef, which attempts to make the game faster-paced. A sudden death Spleef arena consists of a normal boxed-in Spleef arena and a maze on top of the arena that water can flow through. To start the game, a player (usually one that has operator powers) deletes a sand block, causing water to flow through the previously constructed maze. The match begins, and proceeds normally. However, if the water flows into the arena before a winner has been declared, all players lose.
Shrinking Spleef
Shrinking Spleef is another variant of Spleef. The arena consists of multiple, separate layers. As you go down the layers, the size of the Spleef platform shrinks. For example, a shrinking Spleef arena might have a top layer with a 10 by 10 array, then an 8 by 8 array, then a 4 by 4 array.
No-Jumping Spleef
No-Jumping Spleef is Spleef with a small twist; there is a ceiling made out of indestructible blocks over the Spleef arena so participating players cannot jump. This creates an interesting effect. It can be easier to delete blocks directly underneath players, or it can inhibit mobility and slow the game down with camping. A further twist in No-Jumping Spleef is to play with 2 adjacent layers so players can't jump on the first layer, but they can jump again once they reach the second layer.
Maze Spleef
Maze Spleef is quite simple. Instead of an open arena, the Spleef arena is a maze. This slows the pace of the game down and adds pathfinding skills to the competition.
Aqua Spleef
Aqua Spleef is a more tactical, harder version of Spleef. The objective is to get the opponent wet. In this game, you have a arena made of many sponges and the colors of your choice. In this game there is a Sponge +, 3 blocks above the ground and also a sponge x in the ground, also marking the 4 possible teams/player colors. Below the ground, 2 blocks down, is solid block ground, you can fall here which doesn't make you lose, but gives you a disadvantage. Though the sponges were created like this to increase strategical thinking, these can be changed.
Reverse Spleef
This game mode only requires a large regular Spleef arena. The players stand inside the Spleef arena, however the only person who removes blocks is below, in the pit. This means that the floor is removed below the players feet. The winner is the last person standing, and is next to be in the pit. If you have a very large arena then you can alter the rules to allow anyone who falls in to the pit can also delete blocks.
