Fintail Gladiator is a combat arena game featuring fish with razor sharp tails. Slash opponents to small fries and eat them all. Survive as long as possible to get a high score. Be careful, the opponents can do the same to your fish by their tail blades.

Control your fish combatant with movement only: your fish is at the front, and the tail blade is at the back. Timing to flip tail blade is key to winning the fintail gladiator arena.

Up to 4 players can play simultaneously, and currently cooperative only, with friendly fire as an option.

Enemy opponents:

Razor Tail Tigerfish - Dark fish with bright stripes use their tail blades to shrink players into small fry and eat them.
Urchins - Spiky balls that appear from the edges when players take too long to finish waves. Players can first destroy spikes with their tail before slicing the urchin's core.
