What players say

Very fun game. Interesting concept and executed quite well. The amount of silly gameplay altering options and modes also keep it fresh, and always a little confusing. I would recommend, but, like many other "play with your buds games" the experience really depends on your friends. Additionally, I would recommend getting it on sale, especially if your wanting to play with more then two people.

About the game

Screencheat is a ridiculous competitive split-screen first-person shooter where everyone is invisible, so players are forced to look at each other’s screens to win. Supporting both local and online multiplayer, combat in Screencheat is fast and furious with a wide variety of one-hit kill weapons.
