Syphon's Slap Arena

About this game

A 3D one-on-one slapping duel under the arena lights. When it is your slap, swipe across your opponent's face. The speed of your hand as it crosses, a good run-up, a straight line and a clean contact on the cheek decide how hard it lands, from a weak pat to a devastating hit that earns a slow-motion replay. When it is theirs, watch the wind-up. Raise your guard on the side the hand is coming from, time it as the slap arrives for a parry that stuns them, or duck under it and let them spin round like a fool. A parry or a duck earns you a counter-slap they cannot defend. Stamina pays for everything, heavy hits leave you dazed, and it is best of three rounds. Climb the Slap League past twelve fighters from Soft Hands Stanley to the Hand of God, take on the daily challenge, or slap real people online: Play Online against whoever is around, or Play a Friend with a four-letter code, with the server refereeing every swipe. Earn XP and Clout to unlock hairstyles, masks, outfits, gloves, trails and victory celebrations. Nothing costs real money, and nothing you unlock makes a slap any stronger.

How to play

When the screen says YOUR SLAP, swipe across your opponent's face with a finger or by dragging the mouse: faster, straighter swipes aimed at the cheek hit harder. When they slap, tap the side of the screen the hand is coming from (or press A / Left or D / Right) to guard, and tap just as it arrives to parry. Press DUCK (or S, Down or Space) just before a slap lands to dodge it. A parry or a duck earns a counter. How to Play has a practice dummy that teaches all of it.
