Massively Multiplayer Platform Fighting

• Team up with friends to fight the world in massive 40-player lobbies
• Use wicked abilities to smash people into the wall at like 95mph
• Escape the glitch zone and try not to int to become the last team standing

Game-Breaking Gameplay

• Divebomb at mach speed from great heights to crush unsuspecting enemies below
• Defeat AI goons to gather powerful gear like dash boots that let you run up walls
• Find “hacks” that can do things like turn your shield into a meaty death ball

Help the Homies

• Bust out disgusting Team Assist abilities to wallhack TP to your allies
• Carry your compadre’s dead, useless cadaver to a respawn beacon and give ‘em another chance at life
• Share items and powerups for when your gang gets absolutely starched by one of the devs who’s already played for 2,000 hours

The prototype version of Byte Breakers contains no in-game purchases, though future content may require separate purchase from the in-game store and may be subject to availability.
