Skip it if you…

- Those who prefer precise, predictable movement may dislike the physics-driven controls and chaotic arenas.
- Players looking for only combat may not want a separate time-trials mode.
Our take on Oblin Party
Rather than relying on fixed attack patterns and stable arenas, the game makes hand movement, physics, and environmental reactions central to each fight. Its two-hand control scheme replaces conventional character movement with swinging, launching, and direct object manipulation.
What is Oblin Party?
Oblin Party is a 2D fighting game for 2-4 players in local or online matches.
Players directly control two elastic hands, using them to swing, launch, and move through reactive arenas. Combat includes bare-fist attacks, weapons, and physics-based tactics for forcing opponents off the map. Arena elements respond to battles, creating changing conditions during each match. The game also includes single-player time trials, where players earn stars and compete on leaderboards. Objects such as rockets can be redirected or modified with attachments, allowing different approaches during fights. Matches focus on chaotic movement and experimentation, while the time trials provide a separate mode for practicing maneuvering.
