Move or Die is a four-player party arcade game from Those Awesome Guys, released on January 21, 2016. The main rule is right there in the name: you can't stand still, because any character who stops moving simply explodes.
Twenty Seconds a Round
Each round lasts just twenty seconds, and the rules change from one round to the next. In one you have to shoot while jumping, in another a chainsaw hunts for your opponent's back, and in a third everyone races on rockets. Each mode has its own maps, so you can never settle into one pattern. While you are still figuring out what the game wants from you right now, someone else is already scoring points and someone else is blowing up because they got distracted. A match quickly turns into a noisy free-for-all where the quickest thinker wins.
Four Players, One Screen
Up to four people can play on one computer, over a local network or online. If you are short on players, bots fill in, and daily challenges ask you to hold out against computer opponents. Online matches earn you experience, and each level unlocks new characters and modes. Challenges and leaderboards refresh every day. You can plug in gamepads, a keyboard, dance mats and even Guitar Hero-style guitars and drums, though the developers themselves recommend a regular gamepad.
Free Content and Mods
The developers regularly release free content drops with new modes, characters, levels and rule modifiers, and nothing in the game is sold separately. The built-in editor and Steam Workshop let you create your own characters, modes, maps, music and modifiers, so the list of modes keeps growing thanks to the community as well. The music was written by Jacob Lincke. You can download Move or Die for free on PC below.
