SIDE OUT

Game premise and objective

SIDE OUT is a last-side-standing arena game for PC where players defend one edge of a polygon from an incoming ball. You start with two lives; if the ball gets past you, you lose one. Once you're knocked out, you don't sit out; instead, you become a saboteur, dropping obstacles into the arena to disrupt the remaining players.

Arena mechanics

As players continue to get knocked out, the arena shrinks. Each elimination removes a wall from the polygon, changing the shape of the play area. The game escalates with the addition of multiple balls: at 75 seconds, a second ball joins the game, followed by others every 34 seconds, up to six balls at once.
