Brave waves of enemies in the great colosseum !

Arena is a high difficulty game.  Be ware, you'll have to try hard to get good results ! Play wave mode and defeat deadly waves of more and more enemies, or  see how long you can survive against continuously apprearing ennemies in survival mode !

The game is still in development. Feel free to give us feedbacks and bug reports by leaving a comment (known bugs are listed at the bottom). We would enjoy to team up with graphists to have our own assets, contact us if you're interested.
