About the Game

Open Alpha's premiere local 2D fighting experience tears its way into the ring! Use both muscles and magic to beat down your opponents and prove yourself as the mightiest mage in the arena!

Meet the fantastic fighters:

- Boodini is the spookish spectre of an unspecified magician, back from the dead to try his hand at a different kind of performance-- physical performance! Along with him is his dutiful assistant, the Metaldead, a necromatic musician always eager to hype up her now ghostly partner! This duo isn't just undying, it's post-dying, too!

- Stone Cold is a frosty, frigid fighter... an ever-cold elemental... a bone-chilling brawler. This cryogenic character likes to use a cool combination of wintry wandwork and freezing fisticuffs to defeat its foes.

- Lurking in the comments of nearly every online forum is a valiant keyboard warrior known throughout the interwebs as u/Grand-Magician29. Despite being a mere mortal, this basement-dweller fancies himself quite the magic aficionado (just ask the five magic-related subreddits he moderates). But whatever you do, don't insult his waifu 4 laifu, or he'll have no choice but to unsheath his (totally authentic) katana and defend her honor!

- Don't let his flimsy fairy wings fool you: Rock Hard is packing! A punch, that is. His rippling muscles will intimidate any foe who dares draw near, but all he really needs is his tiny pink wand to vanquish them. When you're up against Rock Hard, you're in between him and a hard place!
