Nidhogg 2 By Messhof Games Outsmart your opponents with all kinds of weapons in this life or death tug-of-war that ends in the belly of a flying worm. Stab, shoot, slice, or stomp your opponent to gain control of the screen, then book it to your side of the arena. Before long, a new opponent will appear in your way. If they kill you, they get control. Get all the way to your end of the arena to win–and be devoured by the Nidhogg.

BADBLOOD By Winnie Song BADBLOOD is a deadly game of hide & seek. It is a local split-screen one-on-one brawler — a suspenseful game punctuated with frantic violence, where each player sees the arena from different orientations. As a vengeful character on a personal manhunt, you must use stealth, environment manipulation, and risk assessment to find and kill your opponent before they find you.
