It's a chaotic race against time: tag your friend before they tag you in this silly action game!
Tag is a simple, yet incredibly fun and chaotic local 2-player action game that takes the classic playground game and brings it to the keyboard. The objective is to tag your opponent when you are "it" and avoid being tagged back when they are "it," all within a short, frantic time limit. The game features simple physics and a minimalist design, which only adds to the frantic, laugh-out-loud action as players flop and jump across the screen. What sets Tag Unbanned apart is its pure accessibility; anyone can pick up the one-button controls and start playing immediately. The comparison is strong to simple party games, but the high-stakes, rapid-fire nature of the tag mechanic makes it highly addictive. A crucial strategic tip is to use the jump move not just to clear obstacles but to gain a sudden burst of speed when chasing or escaping, as the added verticality is key to evading or catching your rival.
Playing Tag Unbanned is minimal. Player 1 uses the W key, and Player 2 uses the Up Arrow key. These buttons control both the movement and the jump/action of your character. The core strategy is directional control and timing. You must constantly be moving away from your opponent when you are the one being chased, and constantly trying to block or cut off their escape path when you are "it." The rapid changes between chasing and being chased demand quick adaptation. Tag Unbanned is an excellent, Unbanned choice for quick, competitive, and truly hilarious two-player fun.
