Neighbor Wars

Read full description

Neighbor Wars (Rinjin Sensou) is a landscape pixel-art action battle game where two houses fire kitchenware at each other. Pots, kettles, frying pans, even a washing machine: everything in the house is ammo. Carry it to your cannons with your family and fire it at the house next door. Break their front door and breaker, get inside and snap their main pillar to blow the whole house up! HOW TO PLAY - Run around your house and pick up the ammo that drops in - The 1st-floor cannon fires straight, the 2nd-floor launcher fires in an arc - Shoot incoming ammo out of the air - Break the enemy's front door and breaker, then storm their house - Snap the main pillar to win - Matches take about 1 to 2 minutes FIGHT AS A FAMILY Grandpa, little sister, Pochi the dog... each family member has a different speed and carrying capacity. Tap their faces to switch orders like "carry ammo" or "defend". You can even grab a stunned enemy and fire them back from your cannon. TONS OF AMMO AND YOUR DECK Bowling balls, lucky cats, futons, fridges, takoyaki makers, electric hot pots... each one moves differently: some bounce, some put enemies to sleep, some cause a blackout. Build your deck and plan your own strategy. Stack three of the same ammo to evolve it: a pot becomes a clay pot, a washtub becomes a washing machine! SUPER MOVES Fill the gauge and unleash a super: Table Flip, Kettle Downpour, Pot-Lid Barrier, All-Out Charge and more. Pick the one that can turn the match around. NEIGHBORHOOD STORY Your family has just moved to a town where neighbors greet each other by throwing kitchenware. Face your rival the Kettle Girl, a scheming landlord and the cat who is always watching from the fence, and become the best house in town. Win to unlock new ammo and supers. 1V1 ONLINE RANKED DUELS Take on other players 1-on-1. Each win gives 10 points, and win streaks add bonus points.
