Introduction

Sumo, but with robots! Ram your opponent and send them flying from the dohyō. Speed and finesse are your only weapons – but take care they're not turned against you!

Features

  • Old-school competitive play: Local multiplayer for up to four players.
  • Configurable game length: Play one round, or one-hundred!
  • Single-player practice mode: Hone your skills in a stress-free sandbox.

Scoring

  • 1-Player: Score is not kept in 1-Player mode.
  • 2-Player: Gain a point whenever the other player falls out of the ring.
  • 3- or 4-Player: Gain a point if you landed the last hit on the player who fell out of the ring. (It is possible for a round to conclude with no points scored.)
