Extreme Thumb Wars

Thumb wrestling becomes a digital duel in Extreme Thumb Wars. More than twenty thumb characters are available, and you can test one against the computer or a friend. The contest is described through two visible resources: a health bar and a power bar, both worth watching during an exchange.

The description says you can smash the opponent's finger until the power bar runs out. It does not explain the recharge rules, character differences or match score. Those details need checking on screen, so a large character selection should not be taken as proof that every thumb has a different ability.

Keep an eye on power as well as the opponent's health. Learning what happens when your bar empties gives you a better basis for timing another attempt, and a practice exchange can help both players find the rhythm before comparing wins. Another compact physical rivalry appears in Tug The Table Classic, where the contest centres on a table.

Extreme Thumb Wars supports touch controls or W and Up Arrow on a keyboard. The source does not assign those keys to named characters, but it does provide the two-button setup; check the game to see which side each person controls.
