Screencheat

Screencheat is a split-screen shooter where every player is invisible. To find your opponents, you look at their screens and use clues from their weapons to track them down. Matches support up to eight players locally, online or in a combination of both, with team play and free-for-all options.

Weapons and clues

The weapons are designed for one-hit kills and each has different advantages, disadvantages and play styles. Their shots and other effects leave clues to help reveal where their users are: the Blunderbuss produces smoke, while the Hobby Horse leaves a trail of fire. The arsenal includes the Blunderbuss, a car engine that fires bouncing plasma balls, an explosive teddy bear, the Hobby Horse and the Chefolet.

Modes and maps

Screencheat has nine game modes, from Deathmatch to Murder Mystery. You can practise in solo time trials, learn the maps or play against AI bots. The 11 maps feature air vents, trampolines, colour-coded areas and landmarks such as statues, paintings and furniture, which help you locate other players by checking their screens.

Match settings

You can customise which weapons are available, how and when they can be swapped or reloaded, time limits, victory conditions and penalties. Mutators add further rule changes, including slow mode, low gravity and flappy jump.
