How to play

Two stick fighters, one arena. Matches are best of three rounds. Empty your opponent's health bar for a KO, or have more health when the timer runs out. Land hits to fill your energy bar, then unleash a Super that sends everyone nearby flying.

Weapons drop into the arena during each round: a staff, a knife, a hammer, and a boomerang. Walk over one and punch to pick it up. Each weapon breaks after a few swings.
