Pixel Dash Arena – free online arena game
Eight party battles for four: shrinking ring, bomb rain, falling tiles, dodgeball, bombers, sumo, hot potato and king of the hill.
How to play
Move with WASD, the arrow keys, a gamepad stick or the on-screen stick, and use the action key (Shift, X, RB on a gamepad, or the on-screen button) to dash, throw, drop a bomb or shove, depending on the game. A quick card before every level shows what to do. There are eight levels against three bots: stay inside the shrinking ring, dodge falling bombs, keep moving on collapsing tiles, throw dodgeballs, blast crates as a bomber, push rivals off a sumo platform, pass the hot potato, and hold the hill. The last one standing, or the top scorer, wins. Everything runs on your own device. Signed-in players' results appear on a leaderboard; scores are reported by your browser and only sanity-checked by the server.
