About the Game

HITHURT is a local PvP 1v1 game where two players each control two independent characters. One of them, your HIT, has the ability to deal damage and is invincible, while the other, your HURT, can take damage. To win, you need to split your mind and concentrate on both at once; pursue your opponent with your HIT, but keep your HURT away from them.

Slight ice physics and bouncy walls make sharp movement and close attention important to keep up a solid offense and defense. With 9 unique maps and more to come, all with unique layouts and gimmicks, strategies vary from round to round. Steer around deadly saw blades, use bounce pads to your advantage, dodge moving blocks, and more. You can even hit your opponent's HIT around with your HIT to block them or knock them into a hazard. Crashing into walls usually slows you down, but you can strategically knock into a wall or even your own HURT for fast changes in direction and a slight speed boost. Play it safe and keep away from your opponent until the time is right, or rush in aggressively and take them by surprise. Any strategy might work.

In short, HIT their HURT with your HIT to HURT it while not letting their HIT HIT your HURT. HITHURT.
