Blowhards

About

Blowhards is a local multiplayer brawler where players jostle for dominance in fast-paced arena battles. Taking inspiration from classic platform fighters, it emphasizes long-range combat and area control over traditional one-on-one duels. Up to four players can join in, either teaming up or going solo to knock opponents off floating platforms. The rules are simple: stay on the screen longer than your rivals. Basic controls and chaotic physics make it easy to pick up but tough to master. The game’s bold attempt to revive couch co-op has split players. While some praise its accessibility and chaotic energy, others call it a flawed experiment. A 3/10 review from a 37-hour player labels it a "complete disaster," highlighting clunky mechanics and unbalanced matches. Released in early 2017, it remains a niche choice for those who prioritize local multiplayer over polish. Wins or loses depend on how much you enjoy laughing at physics glitches and second-guessing your strategy.
