Description

The local multi-player space narwhal fighting game that has rocked the internet is finally ready for its big debut in a fully loaded release!

Flop it out with 1-4 players in a retro, epic narwhal battle in space! The heart-piercing action is furious and unrelenting. STARWHAL will change your life.

Inspired by countless couch-gaming gatherings over the decades, we wanted to bring something competitive, creative, and immediately fun to the table. Our original prototype was conceived and developed in 48 hours with focus entirely on these areas. From that came the phenomenon that is STARWHAL.

STARWHAL is a simulation of dreams in an ocean of the mind.

Features:

  • 4 player local multiplayer mayhem - 90+ costumes, 25 arenas, and 4 game modes to duke it out with friends or AI players.
  • 32 single player Obstacle and Target challenges with leaderboards, ghost replays, and achievements.
  • Successfully made it through Steam Early Access, shaping the game around the feedback from fans around the world.
  • New radical graphic effects!
  • You can be a space narwhal wrapped in a burrito.

I originally played this game years ago at a game tournament, years later, I find it again and decide to buy it. Best purchase ever. Who knew that floppy Narwhals fighting to stab the heart of the other in space was fun.

This game is good, silly fun. If you're looking for a party game to get folks laughing, you'll find it here. The idea is simple, the graphics are pleasant and the physics are ridiculous. Duel with your starwhal and

Played this quite a bit with the kids, but it's been a while. Spotted it in my library, and I'm thinking we should fire it up again, to see what they think now - it's going to be a good time.

I have, thus far, recommended this game to everyone I know who participates in SCA Heavy and HEMA. They pretty much universally agree that it's the best armored melee combat simulator ever created. It's simple,

This game is underrated as ♥♥♥♥. I played a few hours on Steam, but countless hours years back in the web client/school macs with friends. Really great customization options and is probably the only dogfighting/aerial

Very fun and chaotic couch party game. You control a very wobbly narwhal, trying to attack others with your tusk. Great to play a couple of rounds with friends. Plus you can customize your narwhal!
