About the game

Thumb Duel turns one phone into a tiny arena for two. The screen splits down the middle, the top half flips to face your opponent, and each round is a lightning mini-duel that lasts only a few seconds. Pull the rope in a tug of war, mash faster than your friend, wait for green and pounce, stack swinging blocks without a miss, stop a sliding needle in the zone, snap when two cards match, hold a bar and let go right on the line, or keep your nerve when a yellow light tries to trick you.

The eight duels come in a fresh shuffled order every match, so nobody can practise just one. First to three rounds wins, and a two-all tie goes to a fast, red sudden-death round where a single slip loses. Playing alone? The robot rival comes in three strengths.
