Boop n Burn

The floor is lava, and your mates are the real problem.

Boop n Burn drops a lobby of up to sixteen players into an arena with one rule: don’t touch the lava. Shove, bump and boop everyone else in, survive the round, then do it all again. Usually it’s first to three wins.

About the game

There’s no health bar and nothing to chip away at. One shove at the wrong moment and you’re gone, watching from the sidelines while the kill feed happily tells everyone exactly who did it to you. Rounds are short and losing is funny, so nobody ever wants to stop at one.

Shoving costs stamina, so going for a push is an actual decision and not just a button you mash. There’s free for all if you want everyone against everyone, and team modes if you’d rather have someone to blame. Matches earn you XP, and levelling up unlocks new gear like staffs and sonic booms (all excellent ways of moving people who’d rather not be moved). So far there are five arenas: a shipping yard at sunset, a warehouse, an arcade, a ruined temple and a desert coliseum.

Up to sixteen in, one out

Lobbies go up to sixteen players, there are no respawns, and it’s usually first to three round wins.

Shove based combat

The whole moveset is momentum, and every push costs stamina. Boop someone at the right angle and the lava does the rest for you.

Free for all or teams

Everyone against everyone, or team modes when you’d rather share the blame for who ended up in the lava.

Unlock as you play

Matches earn XP, and levelling up hands you new gear like staffs and sonic booms for relocating your friends.

Five arenas, one rule

A shipping yard, a warehouse, an arcade, a ruined temple and a desert coliseum. The lava changes colour, the rule never does.
