Finger Arena for Android

What is this?

Sumo fingers! Two fingers enter! One finger leaves!

In this two player game, you push your opponent out of the arena to win. Each player controls a disc by touch and attempts to sumo wrestle the other player out of bounds. The closer you are to winning, the darker or lighter the arena gets to match the color of your ring. It's the classic match of light versus dark, good versus evil, sibling versus sibling, co-worker versus co-worker, or so and so versus whomever!

Finger Arena? How about welcome to the Finger Dome? Digit Wars? Dueling Digits? Touch Fighter? One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war? Well whatever you call it, it is a fun social game to pass the time. (And really not so fun to play alone.)

Please let me know any suggestions that you have to tweak the software for your use. Feedback is great!

Suggestions and To-Do List

  • Please submit your suggestions!
  • Should I implement rounds? Device to device multiplayer? It's a simple novelty game and it's fun to play with somebody else. I don't want to do anything to get in the way of that.
  • I have plans to completely redo the graphics so that it will show up better in HD. Looks washed out on high resolution tablets.
