PlAr is a Platform Arena. It is a Multiplayer scrolling game. In the gameplay the characters move through a scrolling level, plus you can fight with other humans! ..the idea is to play in the 2D style against other humans!

At the moment this is a beta version, future releases will have a level editor and a player editor,and a better gameplay feature, this is just a CONNECT'N'SHOOT version!

The engine of the game is very flexible and a lot of improvements can be easily done, if you think you can help in the design side or in the developement side, please contact me now!

In this beta version there is only a Level (Level0). It contains three respawn points, and some elevators.
