Four-player platform fights with assists

You pick an indie fighter, choose an assist character, and brawl on floating stages where the goal is to launch rivals off the edges. Up to 4 players can join a match, locally or online with rollback netcode, and assists let you fire a projectile, buff yourself, or hit foes with a status effect mid-fight. Each fighter has a full moveset with over 80 animations, so veterans get room to express themselves while newcomers can still get a quick round going with co-op friends.

Custom characters, stages, and modes

The other half of the game is the workshop. You can download custom fighters, stages, modes, and more made with the FrayTools editor, or build your own. That is where the roster keeps growing past the included indie cast, and where silly matchups happen. The creation tools are designed to be simple to start with, which suits a group that likes to grab something new between rounds and try it immediately.

Good to know before you play?

Can you play it with co-op friends on the couch?

Yes, with up to 4 players in local multiplayer. Each additional player needs a gamepad, while one player slot can use the keyboard, so plan controllers before everyone sits down.

Can you play it solo or only with friends?

You can play solo against the game, and the design supports both quick casual rounds and more serious leaderboard play. It is friendly to pick up and harder to master, so solo time works well as practice for group matches.

What do assists actually do?

Assists are extra indie characters you pick before a fight and call in to help. Depending on the pick, they attack, fire a projectile, buff your fighter, or put a status effect on your foes.

What does the custom content add?

It is the way to keep matches fresh while waiting for official additions, with a mix of polished and rough workshop uploads.
