A downloadable game

A co-op dash across no man's land for 1–4 players, or on your own.

Solo  ·  1–4 player online co-op  ·  New field every run

Start at the base and get to the extraction point at the far end. In between is a field that tries to kill you: trenches, barbed wire, minefields, machine gun nests, sniper towers and incoming shelling. It's laid out differently every run.

Your only way to talk to each other is a tin can on a string. Yell into it.


Features

  • Play solo or with up to 3 friends. Host a game and share the code, or join someone else's.
  • A new field every run. Trenches, mine patches, barbed wire, gun nests and sniper towers are placed at random each time.
  • Tin can communication. Hold to talk down the can, and choose who's on the other end.
  • Injuries that stay with you. Bleeding, broken bones and stress all build up. Patch yourself and your mates up with bandages and surgical kits, and calm your nerves with a cigarette.
  • Nobody gets left behind (unless you decide to). Drag downed teammates to a checkpoint to revive them. Each checkpoint only helps each player once.
  • A map with grid squares. Call out squares like "C12" so the team knows where the danger is.
  • Extraction is a vote. Anyone can call it at the end zone. When the countdown ends, only the players standing at the extraction point get out.
  • An after-action report after every run: how it went, and whose fault it was.

Know Your Enemy

Mortars They whistle and mark the ground before they land. Move.
Machine gun nests They swing the barrel before every burst. Time your crossing, or go prone.
Sniper towers They glint before they fire. Keep moving, get into cover, or get in under the tower.
Landmines They go off without warning. Check your map before you step.
Barbed wire It slows you and cuts you. Go through it or go round it.

Field Notes

Keep your map handy and read the squares out loud.
Sprinting burns stamina fast, so save it for open ground.
If you hear a whistle, you have a few seconds. Use them.
Grab supplies at the checkpoints. Some runs are stingier than others.
