Gangsters
A pixelated street fight begins! Gangsters is a two-player online game where two tiny gangs shuffle, leap, and blast each other with whatever falls from the sky. With only two buttons per player, it feels silly at first. But one round is all it takes to spark best-friend rivalries and endless rematches. Grab a crate, steady those shaky arms, and see who can fill the scoreboard first.

How to Play
Pick a mode on the title screen: P1 vs CPU for solo practice or P1 vs P2 to battle a friend on the same keyboard. Each side begins with three blocky fighters lined up shoulder-to-shoulder.
Press the jump key once, and the whole trio hops together, tilting left or right depending on their balance. They slide a short distance every time, so gentle taps work better than holding the key.
Hunt the Crates
Hold the shoot key to lift every arm at the same time. Release to fire; bullets travel in the direction the arms point when you let go. Because the gang sways, time your release for straight shots.
Wooden boxes drift down on parachutes throughout each round. Touch a box to break it and auto-equip its surprise: pistols, machine guns, chainsaws, swords, or the crowd-favorite bazooka.
Mind the Arena
Early stages are flat city streets, but later maps add lava floors, rock piles, or tall water walls that block bullets. Falling into lava or water traps knocks a character out instantly, so jumping at the wrong moment can cost a round, even without gunfire.
Win the match!
When all three rivals drop, you score one point, and teams reset for the next skirmish. The scoreboard sits above each crew first to fill it (default is five points) and wins the match.
One Player Mode
In P1 vs CPU, hold jump without shooting to see how far your gang moves. Then, test arm-raising speed. Short taps send quick sprays; long holds can arc shots downward for tricky angles. Switch maps every couple of rounds for new hazards. Play best-of-three sets with different house rules: melee-only, no jumping, or first player to grab a bazooka wins.
The whole loop jumps, grabs, shoots, and repeats takes seconds to learn but takes a long time to master. Because both gangs share the same two-button scheme, everyone plays on equal footing, and silliness stays high from the first crate drop to the final rocket splash.
