Beyond Critical

Beyond Critical is a sci-fi versus game for 2 or 4 players, who use unique abilities to battle for control of a supermassive black hole. You compete as teams or in free-for-all matches, bending space-time as you try to reach critical mass and score by exploding.

Control the black hole

Stay on the central black hole to collect mass, while keeping opponents away long enough to reach critical mass. Exploding scores a point for your team; firing kinetic projectiles instead sacrifices large amounts of mass to create larger projectiles. Micro-black holes provide a quick boost. The player or team with the most points at the end of the match wins.

Ability classes

Choose from four classes, each with a different ability:

• Photon: fire massive laser beams that stun enemies.
• Electron: slow down time for your adversaries.
• Neutrino: move at high speed and teleport.
• Gravitron: push opponents with bursts of gravitational energy.

Match setup

You can customize arena configurations to vary gameplay and settings, and choose from six colors for customization and team selection. Matches support 2 or 4 players, in teams or free-for-all. The game supports Steam Remote Play Together, and can use one keyboard-and-mouse pair with up to three additional controllers.

Audio and effects

Visual effects are paired with reactive sound design. The soundtrack loops seamlessly and progresses through stages.
