THE GUIDE · FOUR PANELS
The view
You control a ragdoll fighter in a small arena. Movement is deliberately loose: limbs swing, hits send bodies tumbling, and the arena itself joins in — edges, obstacles and drops all count for as much as a well-aimed punch.
Each character has its own attacks, including magic that reaches further than a fist. Fights are short, and that is what makes the game work. You lose one, you pick a different character, and you are back in an arena before you have finished being annoyed.
The keys
W, A, S and D or the arrow keys move you. X, Y and Z strike, and so do the left and right mouse buttons.

Early notes
- ·The physics do half the damage. Pushing an opponent into something usually beats hitting them again.
- ·Try several characters before you settle. Their reach differs more than their appearance suggests.
- ·Keep your distance while you are learning a character — a ragdoll swing carries further than it looks.
- ·Short fights make mistakes cheap. Losing a round is the quickest way to learn an arena.
Questions

Is it multiplayer?

THE HONEST HALF
Who it's good company for
Players who like physics comedy with a fight attached, and anyone who prefers three short bouts to one long match.
Two things to weigh
- ·It is a fighting game. Cartoon ragdolls and no blood, but hitting people is the activity.
- ·The physics are unpredictable, so the same input will not always give the same result.
