SpearHeads

⠀

It's a really nice game actually, probably one I would play with my friends online via Steam too, but sadly, theres no online co-op and Steam remote play is pure sh*t. But its free and local co-op so its actually a free, good co-op game. LIKE

"SpearHeads" is a laughably badly made PvP platform arena game that revolves around a gimmick of collecting and throwing various "spears" at other players.. that's all there is going for it. It's dead, no players, not that it matters because there's no matchmaking or anything. The developer didn't know enough about game development to do online gameplay, so it's local shared screen only. The graphics here are particularly awful, pixelcrap... or an attempt to be pixelcrap retro? When the graphics are so bad in a game that you can't tell if it's trying to be retro pixelcrap and failing, you know it's the worst, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam.

They have their hand out for a $5 USD "donation" for this as you're expected to give them money from buying empty DLC from Steam... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty wa…

SpearHeads takes a wonderfully uncomplicated approach to competitive action: enter a small 2D arena, grab a spear, and make sure everyone else gets eliminated before you do. Developed by EVILM0J0 and published by MojoMakesGames, the game focuses on quick matches rather than elaborate progression or complicated combat mechanics. Its simplicity makes the concept immediately approachable, particularly when several players are gathered together and want something that can be understood without spending half an hour learning controls and rules. The main attraction is its deathmatch-style multiplayer for up to four players. Spears scattered throughout each arena become both weapons and objectives, encouraging everyone to move instead of remaining safely in one location. Once a spear is acquired, positioning and accuracy become important because throwing it at the wrong moment can leave you vulnerable. Landing a good shot is satisfying precisely because the mechanics are so straightforward. There are few layers separating the player's decision from the outcome, so a well-aimed throw feels earned while a spectacular miss can create some genuinely amusing situations. Matches use a round-b…
