THE GAME

About Test Subject Arena

Test Subject Arena is Nitrome’s two-player arena spin-off from its Test Subject series. Both players share the screen, using the arena’s layout and portals to line up shots and evade the other player. It is designed for two people rather than a solo campaign.

CONTROLS & OBJECTIVE

How to play

  1. Open Nitrome’s current publisher-linked HTML5 release on Poki and inspect the displayed keyboard controls for both players. Each person chooses a side before the arena begins.
  2. Use the platforms and portals to change your angle of attack. Keep moving after firing, and avoid following the other player directly into a narrow route.

Game and objective

Test Subject Arena is Nitrome's two-player platform arena game, set inside a hazardous laboratory.

How to approach the game

Compete across platforms while avoiding hazards and using the arena's layout to outmaneuver the other player. Poki lists WASD and Q for player one, and the arrow keys and slash key for player two.

About this version

Poki describes its edition as an HTML5 emulation of the original Flash game and lists desktop support. Current local multiplayer and keyboard behaviour have not been newly tested.
