Overview

About this game

What A World is a top-down, 1v1 arena boss-fighting game with a colorful 2D pixel-art aesthetic. While the challenge revolves around intense boss duels, you’ll also explore a compact world filled with eccentric NPCs, drivable vehicles, environmental puzzles, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

The game's custom action combat system supports I-frame dodging, instant weapon swapping, unique abilities, and combat upgrades, with an emphasis on rewarding skill, timing, and adaptability. There are no loading screens, so every defeat leads straight back into the action.

Developed by one person with a goal of creating a world as absurd and chaotic as the one we live in.
