Cannonball 2
Concept:
The easiest game you've ever played, excluding such classics such as "DON'T LOOK AT THE DOT!" and "Untitled Scenario." If you think of dodgeball, except that everyone has a ball and you can't throw diagonally, you would be thinking of something similar to this map. There's two teams of three, and each player has a zergling. Upon burrowing, a player shoots a scourge (Cannonball) towards their opponents. If you are hit by a cannonball, your zergling explodes in a ridiculous fashion only found on StarCraft. The goal of the game is to destroy the other team.
Gameplay:
Already mentioned above, you get a zergling and get to shoot at the other team by burrowing. Obviously, anyone can dodge scourges drifting towards them, so I decided to include power-ups (and 'assists'). I don't recall the exact number of power-ups (I removed some because they were too glitchy, and added as I went along), but I believe there are six of them. The length of the power-up depends on how powerful it is, but it usually lasts around 30 game seconds.
Screenshots:

Oh, look at that blood! Power-ups are gained by unit representations appearing with JunkYard AI. If the power-up goes to the other team's side, it's wise to aim for the power-up, as it may hit the unfortunate chasers trying to touch it.

There are various power-ups to gain advantage over the other players. The strongest power-up is arguable, but is generally assumed as either the Magnet Shot (Shown in the top left screenshot) or the WTF Shot.

Oh, the WTF Shot is pretty crazy and very powerful, but I'm not going to show you how it works. Half of the fun of this map is seeing what power-up you get and what it does. The other half is when you pwn the other team.
Leave comments, please. I got absolutely no feedback here on Cannonball 1, and so I put a lot more effort into this showcase.
