Split Circuit Arena

One robot. Two pilots. Absolute chaos. Wishlist our physics-based arena game on steam now:

Sometimes we open Split Circuit Arena to test one fix and suddenly an hour disappears because we are still playing.

It delays the next task, but it is also one of the clearest signs that we genuinely enjoy the game we are making.

Doing well makes the arena fight back.

Build a strong score lead and more enemies can pressure you at once. After enough kills, a miniboss interrupts the regular waves.

Does that pressure feel fair?

We wanted players to understand their robot’s health without looking away from the fight.

So we built the health light directly into the machine. It keeps both players informed without adding another large bar to the screen.

Split Circuit Arena works solo or in co-op.

Solo gives you both sides of the robot. In co-op, the controls split between two people and every turn becomes a shared decision.

Solo teaches the machine. Co-op brings it alive.

The arena in Split Circuit Arena does not care whose side you are on.

Rotating maces and spring-loaded traps can launch enemies across the floor, but bad timing can send your robot flying instead.

The free playtest is live.

Armor in Split Circuit Arena is not cosmetic.
Each plate has its own health and absorbs part of a hit. Keep striking the same area and it becomes damaged, breaks away, and leaves the robot without that protection.

Two people controlling one robot usually cannot drive straight at first.
Then something clicks. Turns become attacks, accidents become recoveries, and the same helpless machine starts feeling powerful.

Today our first public playtest begins.
Until now, only we and a few friends had tested Split Circuit Arena. We finally get to see what happens when new players try to control one robot together.
This is a big moment for our two-person team.

This started as a rough prototype built to answer one question: can two people controlling opposite sides of one robot be fun? The arena, weapons, enemies and multiplayer have changed. The original idea survived. Our playtest starts Friday. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

[Split Circuit Arena @split_circuit]

We had a problem: our weapons moved so fast they could pass through another robot between frames. You saw a perfect hit, but the game saw nothing. Now we trace the weapon’s full movement, so every hit counts. Our playtest starts Friday. #WishlistWednesday #indiedev #gamedev

Playtest runs from Aug 21. Signups are OPEN. Hit Request Access on Steam to get in: https://t.co/vSs1jsnA3z

Are those turn lights? Nope! It’s a jump strength indicators to coordinate the jump with your pilot coop partner 🤯

@sharkygamesai It is visible, but it's easy to miss it, being busy with combat!

You have to be careful when driving over unknown holes in the ground, or you might get sent flying!
