Backstabber

BACKSTABBER
Sneakiest ball in the circle!

Step into the circular arena as a nimble green ball with a deadly secret — you can only defeat your enemies by striking from behind. But beware: face-to-face means instant death!

Gameplay Highlights:

• Unique ‘Backstab’ mechanic: Outsmart your foes by dodging, changing directions, and dashing to slip behind them and eliminate them.

• Tense, fast-paced action: Every move counts — one wrong turn, and you’re done.

• Progressively harder waves: As you survive longer, enemies get more in numbers.

• Stylish visual feedback: Colorful score pops and particle effects reward your precision and timing.

• Simple controls, deep gameplay: Easy to pick up, challenging to master.

Perfect for fans of fast reflex games and tactical positioning, Backstabber will test your wits and your nerves in a circular arena where the only way out is from behind.
