Reflex Arena

Step into the Reflex Arena, the ultimate local split-screen reaction game designed to test your speed, focus, and competitive edge! Challenge a friend face-to-face on a single device and see who has the fastest fingers. Set against a stunning retro-futuristic synthwave aesthetic with vibrant neon animations, Reflex Arena offers three exciting local PvP modes: • CLASSIC REFLEX (Speed Test): A pure battle of speed. Watch the target carefully and tap the millisecond it activates. The player with the fastest reaction time scores. First to 5 points wins! • FAKE OUT (Decoy Warning): Don't get fooled! The target flashes multiple decoy colors. Tap ONLY when the target turns neon green. Tapping a decoy freezes your screen, giving your opponent a major advantage. • TUG OF WAR (Competitive Tug): A dynamic battle of dominance. A central balance bar represents the power shift. Every successful tap pulls the bar closer to your side. Pull the bar completely to your side (reach +/- 3 points) to claim victory! FEATURES: • Local Split-Screen PvP: Designed specifically for two players on the same device (best on iPad and iPhone). • Immersive Retro Aesthetics: Beautiful animated synthwave grids, pulsing neon glow effects, and modern haptics. • Fast-Paced Gameplay: Matches last under a minute—perfect for quick sessions anywhere. • Simple but Addictive: Easy to learn, difficult to master, and highly competitive. No internet required, no ads, and no sign-in. Just pure face-to-face arcade competition. Ready your reflexes and enter the Arena!

About

DUAL NOW

Features
Read full description

DUAL is a fast, physics-y space-combat arena for two — built to play with someone in the room, not a stranger online. Pick a mode, pick how you're playing, and go. SEVEN WAYS TO DUEL Battle (classic deathmatch), Squash (knock the orb past your rival), King of the Hill, Juggernaut (one ship is crowned and everyone else hunts them), Gun Game (every kill upgrades your weapon), and two co-op modes — Boss Fight and endless Survival — for playing together instead of against. HOWEVER YOU'RE SET UP Solo against AI with adjustable difficulty and ship count. Pass-and-play on one device, split into top and bottom halves. Host or join a match over local Wi-Fi with a nearby friend — no internet required. Or go full arcade cabinet: put the arena on a TV over AirPlay and hand out phones as controllers. TILT TO STEER Optional tilt controls calibrate to however you're actually holding the phone when the match starts. MAKE YOUR SHIP YOURS Every color and ship shape is unlocked from the start — name your ship, pick a look, and it carries across every mode. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING Nothing is collected, nothing is uploaded, and there's nothing to sign into. Wi-Fi matches connect directly, device to device.
