## What is Micro Battles?

Battle your friends in a series of HEAD TO HEAD mini-games, inspired by the fun simplicity and quirkiness of classic 8-BIT VIDEO GAMES.

Using two buttons (one for each player) on a single device, you can place your portable battleground practically anywhere and challenge any friend you'd like.

Battles are changed on a daily basis, so be sure to open the app every day for another fun challenge.

### 5/5 — ちょうどいいゲーム

*2025-12-16*

このゲームを1文字で表すと「最高」😁😁😄🥰😎😎
暇つぶしにしては面白すぎるしなにより白熱した戦いが俺の野生心をくすぐるぜぇ☆😎
ディズニー行ってもこれ入れとけばアトラクション乗らなくても楽しめるぜ😂😂

### 3/5 — Great game, but what I’ve seen from Donut Games, I am not that impressed.

*2025-07-21*

They made the one button thing work for every minigame, but also, this particular game in the Micro Battles trilogy has broken RNG. I got cowboys for a week now and it was because the system that picks your game was broken. Please fix this, IDK if people have this problem too. A 5 star game made by a 10 star company. 3.5 stars, but this feature isn’t available.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-12-24*

Great game! This is a great way to pass time with friends! (This is a great game!)(Awesome!)

### 1/5 — biased game

*2023-05-23*

only kets blue win i thjnk it discriminates based on color

### 1/5 — Terrible In-app purchase feature

*2023-02-13*

You can only play one game a day. That’s right: one. You have to get premium to be able to play more. This is basically a paid app at this point. Not to mention 2 dollars is absurd for such a simple two-player pixel game.

### 1/5 — Ruim e Caro.

*2022-02-08*

O jogo é muito ruim, entediante além de muitos dos mapas serem pagos, e de graça apenas 1 mapa, fica sem graça.

### 2/5 — Uh

*2021-11-25*

I was wanting to play this game with my cousin but you can only play one a day and it’s dumb its not fair to other kids its on all 3 games and i don’t like it if you can remove premium on all three games I think people would play it more and I would like it more

### 1/5 — Zeitverschwendung

*2021-08-14*

Ist eigentlich eine ganz Gute Idee aber Leider eine sehr schlechte Umsetzung nicht nur das man nur 4 Spiele zur Auswahl hat man konnte auch nur ein Spiel spielen und dann muss man Premium kaufen für 1,99$.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2021-01-19*

This game is amazing should make a 4th game

### 1/5 — STOP

*2021-01-09*

MAKE IT SO YOU CAN PLAY DIFFERENT MINI GAMES YOU NEED HELP
