1 & 2 Player Arrow Key Game Online - Play Blue
Collect rings with acrobatic, gravity-defying jump moves and avoid being squashed by giant bouncing balls in this high-octane, platform-based game of skill and survival (with a cool 2 player / teamwork option!). Blue is a fun and challenging 80s arcade-style, 8-bit pixel graphics game for kids, teens and nostalgic adults where you must leap around a confined blue play area, scooping up rings and attempting to evade large and unpredictable bouncing balls. The best part is that help is at hand if you need it – you can add a ring-collecting team mate at any time to make this a cool ‘2-player’ collaborative effort!
Reasons to play this enjoyable, reactions-based arcade game: If you like classic movement and jumping games , this game should be a hit for you. Nostalgic fans of simplified 8-bit graphics from the 1980s should also feel right at home with the basic controls and easy-to-understand tasks at hand where you exercise and test reaction speed, judgement and timing skills.
Strategy to win: Good hand-eye coordination, fast reactions, savvy timing and keyboard control skills are the key to progression as you attempt to dodge and weave around the erratic ‘Bouncing Ball Baddies’. If you find yourself struggling to compete, don't be too proud to call in a best friend, classmate or family member to give you a helping hand.
How to Play: A Flash-based, reactions and skill game for notebook, laptop and desktop PC / Mac (with certain browsers). The game should automatically load onto the main menu screen where you have two distinct game modes to choose from: Ring Mode and Frenzy Mode.
If you want to play on your own, go ahead and click on the mode of your choice (Only Ring Mode is available upon first play). However, if you want to play with a buddy, click once on the ‘Toggle Co-op’ icon in the top right corner, and then choose your game mode.
In ‘Ring Mode’, you must collect 10 rings in succession without being struck by a Bouncing Ball Baddie. There are 36 increasingly-challenging levels. Use the Arrow Keys on your computer keyboard to control Player 1, and (if selected) the WASD Keys to control Player 2. In later levels, press the Up Arrow / W Key twice in succession to perform a double jump. You can also perform ‘wall jumps’ by holding down the key that directs your character toward the wall, and then pressing the Jump button at the same time.
Run through either side of the game screen, and your character automatically appears on the opposite side. Rings descend randomly from the top of the play area. You can see how many rings you have collected at the bottom of the game screen. If either of your characters is hit by a ball, this falls to back to zero.
In ‘Frenzy Mode’, your goal is to survive for as long as possible, and collect as many rings as you can in an increasingly ball-filled game area. Each time you collect a ring, a new randomly-sized Bouncing Ball Baddie is added to the play area. You must complete a certain number of levels in Ring Mode in order to unlock different difficulty levels in Frenzy Mode.
