Floody

Floody

Cute hand painted visuals and a very interesting platform battle mechanic. This game is great to try out for a game night with a couple of friends! Basically you try to build up and try to keep your friends below where the encroaching waves kill those too slow. There’s multiple items you can get and use to change the platforms and hinder your opponents.

An in-game tutorial is lacking but you can just watch the 2nd video on the store page for a tutorial with some good tips for advance gameplay.

Great high-intensity action for you and up to 11 of your friends, local or online! Brings back the nostalgia of the couch multiplayer days, even when you can’t be in the same room as your friends!

Sometimes you unexpectedly find a real gem. This game is such a hidden gem. A small, but very polished game that I never heard of before, but understood in seconds and had fun with immediately!

The premise is simple: Kill your opponents, like in Towerfall or Duck Games. You got only one bullet. After shooting it, you have to retrieve it before you can shoot again. The different levels contain death traps, like spikes or lava. Also each character can choose a super ability, like the possibility to kill opponents by jumping on their heads. You also have a few options to select and gamemodes to choose from - and then the fun starts!

FROG X BIRD

FROG X BIRD

Once upon a time a frog

Croaked away in Bingle Bog

Every night from dusk to dawn

He croaked awn and awn and awn

Other creatures loathed his voice,

But, alas, they had no choice,

And the crass cacophony

Blared out from the sumac tree

At whose foot the frog each night

Minstrelled on till morning night

Neither stones nor prayers nor sticks.

Insults or complaints or bricks

Stilled the frogs determination

To display his heart’s elation.

But one night a nightingale

In the moonlight cold and pale

This game is EPIC fun. Brings back the old Joust days with a modern twist. I used this as a party game and we ended up playing for hours. Get 4 controllers and challenge your friends.

the basketball mode is incredible. Get the ball through the rings, so simple yet so challenging when youre friends are trying to hijack you.

I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in local gameplay and connecting with friends.

Warnings:

1. There is no single player mode

2. The community is practically dead, you’ll be lucky to find 2 to 4 people online to play with, if any

3. If you do manage to start a match the game play is unfortunately pretty slow and clunky

Positives:

1. You can play local multiplayer

2. It’s almost interesting as a party game

In summary: Be sure you actually have people to play this with or you won’t even be able to play it at all.

This game is absolutely the best. Tiny bit of a learning curve, but I really have no complaints. Fun action, makes you and your friends laugh, runs smooth as butter. Not to mention you can have up to 14 people playing this at once. 14 people. 10 on controller and 4 on keyboard.

I really hope that somehow, someway, this game will get a playerbase so that online matches will exist. There simply isn’t enough people playing to jump into a random online match.

Either way I absolutely love this game. You should definitely buy this game provided you have friends to play them with. (also check out the other powerhoof games. they totally rock)

Great PvP game. Fun one to couch play or with people online. Map design looks nice and looking forward to thrashing some friends.

Woo eeh! That hydra mini game is hard but in the way that makes you wanna keep going until you’ve smashed your monitor.

If you’re in for a challenge the single will give it to you in spades, with a thumping techno soundtrack to get you pumped for each attempt.

Versus mode is a fast and wild, reflecting a shot into your opponents face and having them try to block only to realise it’s an unblockable bullet and gasp in horror as their little alien explodes into dust, is something to experience.

Great game, would buy again! (y)

SINGLE-HANDEDLY DEFEAT YOUR FRIENDS

With a single button, you control multiple characters and all their actions. Yet it can be learned within seconds. This makes it the ideal party game to play on a big screen.

WHOSE BLOOD IS THAT?

Hack, smash and blast through rows of enemies! Missing a leg? It’s but a flesh wound!

Chop until you drop!

MASTERY

Time your spins, rolls and attacks right to chop off limbs and be victorious!

OLD SCHOOL COUCH GAMING

Play through the co-op campaign to unlock new characters, arenas and factions; duel it out with 2-4 players in the arena mode or play a knock out tournament with unlimited participants!

EXPLORE, DISCOVER, ENCOUNTER

Travel across mountains and forests, swamps and settlements. Meet the locals - and wipe them out!

Some of them will join you on your conquest against evil.

A brilliant game with friends. I must have played 200+ matches and no two have been the same. Great balancing system and a sprinkling of luck built-in to ensure matches are competitive while still giving the edge to the more skilled players.

TLDR good game though modding makes it even better

Base game.

If i had to choose a game that i will play and is pvp 1v1 this is almost always one of the best choices to make.

This game has all of the greatness of stick fight but with little to none of the issues.

Simply put this game is pretty good by default.

Modded game.

Do you have slight issues with something then why not try playing without it.

Would like to try some thing wacky go for it.

Would you like picking 5 cards at the very start and at the end of EACH round you got it. (can get 25 cards in 1 match).
