NOTE: If you have issues with the browser version, play the downloadable executable below.

Papope is a fast-paced twin stick arena fighting game for you and your friends.

I want to know the goal of the game

The only goal is to have fun: crush your friends in arena-like environments with various hazardous obstacles and pickups. Make your opponents fear you and the trusty revolver, control the crowd with the dynamite or assert dominance with a shield.

I want to play the game

The game only supports gamepads, from 2 up to 4 players. Once all controllers are hooked up, they will be able to join the ingame lobby.

Game modes

  • Normal

Regular rumble. Everyone spawns with normal health points. The classic Papope experience.

  • One-hit

It's just like Normal mode, but taking any damage kills you instantly!

  • Cards

Each round begins with modifiers assigned to each player.

The source code of the game is public and can be accessed on Github.

Sources?

  • Most of the sounds are from myinstants.com
  • Musics and sprites are made by me
  • Quake 2 (for shield and the space ray sft)
  • Worms armageddon (for explosion and water sfx)
  • The faces of the players are images of me and some of my friends (since this project started out as a fun little internal party game) and also Marty Robbins from an album cover
  • Uses the BlockBit font (https://www.dafont.com/blockbit.font)


What do I owe ya?

The game is completely free of charge (and will always be), but if you feel like supporting me you can buy me a coffee at Ko-fi.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it :) Interesting.. I just tested it on the Windows executable and pressing “F” works just fine.. not sure what could be the issue on your side.. maybe you are not focused to the window when pressing “F”?

I really like this. Do you need any music or sound effects? Because I could make some for you. :) 

Thank you, I’m really glad to hear that you liked it :) Also thank you for the offer, but I already have one of my friend on the music. Still appreciated!
