Friends Battle Knock Down

Grab a friend, pick your fighter, and settle the score in a frantic arena where every well-timed shove knocks your rival off the edge.

I don't know why, but there's something deeply satisfying about shoving your friend off a platform and watching them ragdoll into the void. Friends Battle Knock Down nails that exact feeling. It's a local two-player brawler where the only goal is to knock the other guy out of the ring before the timer hits zero. You move with WASD or arrows, and S or Down Arrow is your shove. That's it. No combos, no health bars, just pure positional jockeying. The 120-second rounds force aggressive play. You can't camp forever, because whoever has more points when the clock runs out wins. Points come from knockdowns, obviously, but also from shoves that connect even if they don't send your opponent flying. I found myself baiting my brother into edge fights, stepping back at the last second so his shove whiffed, then countering with a clean push that sent him tumbling. The controls are simple but the mind games are real. It's the kind of game you boot up for a quick best-of-three and then suddenly an hour's gone. No download, runs in a browser, works with keyboard or even touch on some devices. If you've got a friend in the same room, this is a solid pick for some trash talk and cheap laughs. Just don't get too cocky, because one mistimed shove and you'll be the one flying off the edge.

*Press the S key or the Down Arrow key to push or hit. *The player with the most points in 120 seconds wins. *Use the WASD keys or the Arrow keys to move.

Bait your opponent near the edge, then shove them right as they lunge. Don't spam the shove key—wait for a clean opening or you'll whiff and get punished. Time your movement with WASD to stay just outside shove range, then step in. Points also come from landing hits, so stay aggressive even if you can't get the knock. If you're winning on points with 10 seconds left, play keep-away instead of risking a knock. Play a few rounds back-to-back to learn the exact shove distance.
