Hands Off!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"Hands Off is the most original two-player party game I've seen in a long long time."
- M. Joshua Cauller, Plus 10 Damage
Hands Off! v1.1 (released on 2015-05-29) introduces two new arena types, the meddle system and more.
The gloves are off. The gauntlet is down. Hands Off! asks “How ambidextrous are you?" and then forces you to prove it.
Hand to hand, you and your opponent are locked in a never ending struggle* to get coloured pegs into their matching coloured holes. You could assume that achieving this wouldn't be difficult. That assumption would be incorrect.
Hands Off! will strain your brain. Three holes, three pegs, four hands (two each!) - that's a lot of things to keep your eyes glued to (literally or figuratively). You can team up with a friend and share your hands, offloading some of your brain strain and struggling with teamwork and cooperation instead.
*individual struggles do in-fact, end
