You’ll face multiple fighters at once, making every match a frantic free-for-all. With retro pixel-art visuals and a chiptune soundtrack, Wrassling captures the charm of classic arcade games while adding a comedic twist. Play solo against AI or grab a friend for local two-player mode on the same device. Unlock a variety of quirky hats and in-game goals to keep the fun fresh. Perfect for kids, teens, and anyone who loves fast-paced, laugh-out-loud action, Wrassling is a nostalgic yet absurdly entertaining wrestling romp.

How to Play

• Toss Opponents: Time your swings to fling foes over the ropes and out of the ring to score points. Be the last one standing to win.
