Prepare your hair to attack, smack and knock back anyone who dares oppose you in Beardbarians! Pick from a colourful cast of characters and stunning stages to duke it out with friends or CPUs in the 2-4 player battle mode, or work together to protect your gem from the greedy goblins by upgrading your abilities along the way in the tower defence mode!BeardsEach character can use their beard to attack, block and grab. Attacks can be aimed in any direction and charged for extra power. Blocking can be used to mitigate any damage, but block too much and it'll destroy your beard, leaving you defenceless for a few seconds. Grabbing (while having less range than attacking) can also be aimed in any direction and ignores blocking from opponents. Grabbing onto them will let you carry them around and throw them away. This combat system works like rock paper scissors where grab beats block, block beats attack and attack beats grab. Beard-based combat will grow on you, we promise! Additionally, you can fight alongside an ally in team battles, so maybe get your friend who’s a little too good at fighting games to carry you to victory!AbilitiesOutside of beard shenanigans, every character can perform your typical run, jump and double jump, but can also dash, wall jump, and use 6 character-specific abilities! These are the key to defeating your opponents, and looking awesome while doing so.Each character has 6 abilities:Neutral Ability (not holding a direction)Side Ability (holding left or right)Up Ability (holding up)Down Ability (holding down)Block Ability (whilst blocking)Recovery Ability (different button)The block ability is a primarily defensive move, and the recovery ability is designed for height and distance, perfect to get yourself back on solid ground! Don’t worry if this all seems overwhelming as there is a replayable tutorial to show you the ropes, featuring our favourite teacher, Dummy! Every character’s moveset is uniquely crafted, so you’ll want to learn how they all work to stay on top!CharactersDave has a very simple life, he fights for money to fund his gardening hobby.
