A frantic and humorous multiplayer shooter where physics-based chaos turns everyday objects into weapons.

What players say

Players love the gravity gun and physics-based chaos, calling it simple, dumb fun that is best enjoyed with friends. Many note that servers are dead or heavily modded, but those who find active games say it still holds up as a pure deathmatch experience.
