Yakko Tako Royale

Cut their string before they cut yours. Kite fighting is a real sport, played across South Asia, East Asia and the Middle East, and the rule is the same everywhere. You do not shoot anybody down. You bring your line across their line, and you cut. Yakko Tako Royale plays by that rule, then fills the sky. Every kite hangs from a string that runs a long way straight down, and that string is the only thing anybody can take from you.

Fly above a rival and their string is right there in front of you. So is yours, to them. Now put sixteen of those in one arena. Sixteen kites, one skyOnline play runs through Steam. Host a lobby and your friends drop straight in, or browse the open lobbies and join a stranger's storm. Up to 16 players fight in the same sky at once, and it is exactly the kind of gorgeous chaos that number promises: strings everywhere, cuts landing in threes, the crowd thinning until two kites circle each other over the water.

One button rematches the whole lobby. Or fight on the couchTwo to four players, one screen, one machine. Everybody picks a stall at the night market, picks a kite and presses START. No accounts, no waiting, because everybody is already sitting in the room. Empty seats take bots, at four skill levels you can mix in the same match.…
