Drunken Duel

Drunken Duel is a silly one-button shootout between two stickmen who can barely stand up. It is made for two people on one keyboard, and a round takes only a few seconds, so it is perfect for a quick "best of" with a friend.

The menu has 1P (against the computer) and 2P buttons. In 2P, the blue stickman stands on the left and the orange one on the right, with a small table and two bottles between them. Each player has just one key:

  • Blue player: the W key.
  • Orange player: the Up arrow key.

The same buttons are also shown on the screen. Both stickmen sway and stagger on their own, and pressing your key makes your stickman swing his gun arm and shoot. Because the bodies flop around like rag dolls, you never quite know where your arm will point. Press too much and your arm flails up into the air. Wait for the right moment and you hit your opponent.

Each player has a health bar and five stars at the top of the screen. When we knocked out the orange stickman, the blue player got a star, a "Ready" message appeared and the next round started straight away. A stray shot can also knock a bottle off the table.

The game is by HiHoy, who also made Tug The Table.

How to play

How to play

  1. Choose 2P.
  2. The blue player presses W, the orange player presses the Up arrow.
  3. Your stickman sways by himself. Press your key to swing your arm and fire.
  4. Empty your opponent's health bar to win the round and earn a star.
  5. Keep playing rounds. The player with more stars is ahead.

Tips

  • Don't mash. Pressing again and again makes your arm swing wildly. Short taps give you more control.
  • Watch the sway. Fire when your stickman leans towards your opponent.
  • Make it a match: play until someone fills all five stars.
