About the Game

Action-packed top down shooter gameplay in a 3D physics environment!

Two game modes:

  • Challenge your friends to a split screen gunplay duel (up to four players). Last man standing wins.
  • Or fight against robot AI enemies in single player or split screen co-op (up to four players).

Key features:

  • 28 weapon modes, each bringing different tactical mechanics.
  • Hold two weapons at any one time. Learn to combine them effectively.
  • Destroy robot spawners in room to room arena challenge combat.
  • Varied enemy types and AI keeps up the challenge. Each enemy uses different weapons and tactics.
  • 5 difficulty settings making the game accessible for all skill levels. Also adapts to the number of players.
  • 25 varied arenas, many featuring randomized features and layouts (hundreds of variations ensuring replayability).
  • Interactive environmental elements such as hoverboards, cannons, player flashlights, bounce pads, pushable spiked walls, elevators, exploding barrels, destructible walls / floors and more.
  • Strong, immersive sound effects.
  • Varied boss battles.

Unique features:
  • 3D environments add verticality in which you can jump or fall, making the gameplay more dynamic than 2D top down shooters.
  • Weapons, health kits and ammo are randomly thrown into the arena by the cheering crowd. Prowl the arena edges to prompt these drops.
  • In both game modes, players who die are automatically respawned as a turret, allowing them to continue taking part in the action.
  • Dead players in co-op mode are fully revived if one surviving player unlocks the next arena room. Keeps all players in the fight.
  • Over two hours worth of original music (combining, rock, metal, industrial, electronica, drum and bass, and dark ambience)
  • Retro visual style prioritizes clarity during gameplay rather than visually overloading the player.
  • Co-op players touch each other to pool and share their combined health.
  • Unique cross-fire mechanic. Co-op players can cross their laser sights to inflict explosion damage on enemies.
