Pixel Battle Upward

Fighting & Shooting 2 Player Adventure Arcade

Pixel Battle Upward is a two-player pixel game in which the floor is lava and the other player is your biggest threat. You can run away from your friend or try to push them in. Whoever falls into the lava loses that round.

Rockets also fall from the sky and can kill you, so you need to watch both your opponent and the sky. The description says the player who falls into the lava or dies the most loses the game, so the overall result is tracked across rounds.

The source does not list the keys, so the on-screen instructions at the start show them. It makes a quick duel for friends at one keyboard. Try to stand where your opponent has to come to you, then use the push when they are near an edge.

How to play

Sit side by side and check the on-screen instructions for each player's controls.
Stay clear of the lava.
Push your friend toward the lava, or run away if they come for you.
Watch the sky for falling rockets.
The player who falls into the lava or dies the most loses.

Tips

Let your opponent approach, then push when they are near an edge.
Look up regularly. A rocket can end a round just as quickly as lava.
