Split-screen and shared screen local multiplayer

All game modes are playable in split-screen with up to 4 players and enabling the Chaos mode allow up to 8 players to join the fight on a shared screen. Frayspace supports Steam Remote Play, so remote matches are an option too!

Mechanics

Each fighter ship has unique specs including health, shield, speed, and weapon damage. They are equipped with an active shield that can block enemy attacks but timing is everything, as its effective use depends on using it at the right moment. The weapons inflict distinct damage to both health and shield of the fighters. Choose your weapon wisely, as the shield halves the damage inflicted to health. You can find many kinds of power-ups like time control, the shockwave and the nuke in the maps and use them to your advantage.
