Defeat your friend. The one who hits the most wins. There are drop balloons passing by in the air, find them and change your weapon. Remember, each weapon has its own unique features, so every weapon is powerful. *The red player moves using the WASD keys. *The blue player moves using the arrow keys. *The one who gets hit 20 times loses.
