About Friends Battle Swords Drawn
In the third episode of the Friends Battle series, swords have been drawn, and the war is about to begin. The battle starts; sharpen your sword, you need a sharp blade. Together with your friend, the one who captures the flag the most wins. The winner is the one who stays with the flag for 20 seconds.

The red player moves using the WASD keys. The blue player moves using the arrow keys. Stay at the flag for 20 seconds. You can press S and DOWN ARROW to kill the enemy.
