NOTE: OSX version soon! (maybe)

NOTE:Web version might have some trouble capturing the mouse cursor - Just allow it if it asks, otherwise you'll lose focus.

Set in the far future and based upon a legendary battle between a mythical Hero and an evil Tyrant, Dead Man's Volley is a rhythmic battle game in which you must deflect a magical projectile back and forth to damage your opponent, controlled entirely by the Mouse.

Take part in this glorious sport, dodge the enemy's attacks and perform the legendary Dead Man's Volley to defeat your foes!
