Squarena

Squarena is a 2D physics arena shooter and local multiplayer party game for 2–6 players, with single-player challenge modes as well. You battle in varied arenas using weapons, physics and abilities, including a teleport and shield. Your character’s health determines its size: taking damage makes you smaller and more maneuverable, while increasing the recoil from your shots. You can also deflect opponents’ bullets to change them to your color.

Combat and arenas

The game includes varied maps, powerups, a physics-enabled world and customizable rules. You can unlock skins, cosmetics and other content, with no microtransactions. Some rules can be changed in the options menu.

Game modes

• Standard Vs. Mode: Bullets from the opposing team damage you, make you smaller and eventually cause you to lose a life. The last person or team standing wins.
• Sport Modes: Play in basketball- or soccer-inspired arenas. Touching the ball with your character or an ability changes it to your color; scoring a goal while it is your color makes every other color lose a life.
• Hot Potato: The balls switch between red and green whenever a player or ability touches them. Touching a ball while it is red damages your character.
• Zero Gravity: Standard Vs. rules apply in a boundless, zero-gravity arena. Bullets loop forever until they hit something.
• CRUMBLE mode: Made in collaboration with BRUTE FORCE, developer of CRUMBLE and Paper Sky, this mode uses Standard Vs. rules in a toppling arena. Falling into the fog below results in an instant KO.
• Obstacle Course/Race mode: Race to the finish in platforming arenas, either alone or in multiplayer. Touching a red surface sends you back to your last checkpoint.
• Target Practice: In this single-player mode, destroy as many targets as possible before time runs out. Destroying targets adds time, and you can use the mode to improve your aim and challenge friends.
• Square Up!: In this single-player precision physics-platforming mode, climb to the top of the map and banish an ancient relic as quickly as possible. The mode is inspired by Getting Over it and Only Up!.
