A networked multiplayer shooting game. Players must try to hit their opponents on mountainous terrain with lasers. Players must guess angles and distances to make sure their shot hits their target. Shots can bounce of walls and hit obstacles in the terrain. Initially lasers would be absorbed when hitting the edges of the screen, but a later update changed them to deflect instead. The game uses a big board multiplayer matchmaking system where all current player names are shown on a big board and can challenge each other to a duel.
