12 MiniBattles is a two-player party game made of quick one-button duels, from soccer to sniper fights, in a chunky retro style. Rounds last seconds, so it is perfect for playing against a friend on one keyboard.
12 MiniBattles at a glance
12 MiniBattles is a party game built for two people sharing one keyboard or one phone. Each player has a single button, and the game cycles through a dozen tiny arenas with different rules: kick a ball into the goal, shoot your rival with a sniper rifle, push them off a platform and more. Rounds are over in seconds, so a full match never drags.
The single-button design is what makes it work. Anyone can join without learning controls, which levels the field between experienced gamers and first-timers. The chunky pixel art keeps everything readable, and the random order of minigames means you rarely play the same sequence twice. You can also play solo against the computer when nobody is around.

How to control 12 MiniBattles
Getting better at 12 MiniBattles
Every minigame uses the same button for a different action, so the first moment of each round matters most. Look at your character and the arena before pressing: is the button a jump, a shot or a turn? Players who mash instantly tend to lose rounds they could have won.
In the shooting minigames your character usually rotates on its own and the button fires. Wait for your aim to line up with the opponent rather than firing the moment the round starts. In the physics rounds, small well-timed taps usually beat holding the button.
When playing two-player on one keyboard, sit so each person has their own key comfortably under a finger. On mobile, each player taps their half of the screen, so hold the phone flat between you.
