Squarena

Battle with up to 6 players in this local multiplayer party game, sure to bring "edge-of-your-seat" moments to your next game night!

Squarena is a skill-based multiplayer party game with an emphasis on physics combat. The game mechanics support ease of entry with a high skill ceiling. Enjoy a variety of arenas and variations in this 2D physics arena shooter, where your character's health determines its size. The lower your health, the smaller you become which makes it easier to maneuver and avoid bullets, but it also means the recoil from shooting will have a bigger impact on you! Don't forget that you have your teleport and shield abilities to use and try to get the edge in the battle as well!

GAME MODES:

some rules can be altered via the options menu under RULES

• Standard Vs. Mode: Other team's bullets damage you (and make you smaller) until you eventually explode and lose a life. Last person or team standing wins!
• Sport Modes: Two arenas - basketball and soccer inspired. Touching the ball with your character or an ability changes it to your color. Score a goal while it's your color, and every other color loses a life!
• Hot Potato: The "hot potato"-balls switch between red and green every time they are touched by a player or ability. If your character touches them while red, you take damage.
• Zero Gravity: This arena has standard Vs. mode rules, but with a boundless zero gravity playfield. Bullets loop forever until hitting something!
• CRUMBLE mode: An arena/mode made in collaboration with BRUTE FORCE (developer of CRUMBLE & Paper Sky). Standard Vs. mode rules but with a toppling playfield. Falling into the fog at the bottom is an instant KO!
• Obstacle Course/Race mode (Multiplayer OR Single player): These arenas are a race to the finish in a pure platforming-style mode. Touching red surfaces sends you back to your last checkpoint.
• Target Practice (Single player only): Blast as many targets that you can within the time limit. Destroying targets adds to the timer. Improve your aim to challenge your friends!
• Square Up! mode (Single player only): A precision physics-platforming mode where you try to make it to the top of the map to banish an ancient relic as quickly as possible. Inspired by "Getting Over it" and "Only Up!".

*5-6 player battles can only use up to 4 XInput gamepads at a time, then use alternate controller types for the other two players. The additional controller types need to be recognized and have valid drivers compatible with Windows as non-XInput devices for them to function properly. Otherwise they would need to pass through SteamInput, which essentially converts them into XInput devices and counts against the 4 slot limit for XInput.
