In this intense tactics platformer, the entire battle lasts 10 seconds, but the careful planning may take much longer.
This is as game for Two players with local hot-seat multiplayer. You will need a keyboard and a mouse (touchpad not recommended).
You can control your units to try out tactics and rewind the time to revise your approach. You can also give commands to enemy units during the planing phase in order to find out how well your tactics work against different enemy tactics. When you and your opponent have submitted a battle plan, the plans executed against each other!
