Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access offers us a unique opportunity to shape 1 Shot 1 Kill into the ultimate couch multiplayer experience with direct input from you, the players. It's a way for us to work together to make the game awesome for everyone.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to have 1 Shot 1 Kill in Early Access for about 6 to 12 months. This time will help us use your feedback to make the game as good as it can be before the full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan on having more levels, more enemies and better gameplay based on what you tell us. We'll try to fix any rough spots and maybe add new ways to play that you're excited about. We want the game to look better, run smoother, and be more fun by the time we're done.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now, 1 Shot 1 Kill has everything you need to start playing: it's got the main game play working, several PvP areas to battle in, and one of a planned twelve levels and bosses for the cooperative part of the game ready so far.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, during Early Access, 1 Shot 1 Kill is priced affordably because we want lots of people to play and share their thoughts. We plan to increase the price as we add more to the game, but if you buy it now, you won't have to pay extra when the full version comes out.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We really want to hear from you to make 1 Shot 1 Kill the best it can be. You can send us your feedback directly in the game. But there's more – we plan to post weekly video updates on YouTube to share what's new, what we're working on, and respond to your questions and suggestions. Seeing your ideas and thoughts is super important to us, and we're excited to make this game together with your help!”

About This Game

Dash, dodge, and take aim! A fresh take on arena shooters, where it only takes one shot to kill or be killed. 1 Shot 1 Kill is a deadly third person arena combat shooter.

In the far reaches of space on the abandon mining planet Hyperion VI, the tyrant Adrik holds a combat tournament for his own entertainment and glory. In this sci-fi future, throwing knives have homing and light sabers are insanely fast, making them the preferred weapons for close quarter fighting.

Core Features

  • 1 Shot 1 Kill: One shot kills are the most satisfying
  • Limited Ranged Ammo: You'll need to retrieve your thrown knives to reload. All shots have a significant amount of homing
  • Unlimited Melee: Instant melee with a generous range and cool down
  • Melee Reflect: You can reflect shots with your melee attack, light saber style


  • Dash and Wall Jump: Every point on a map should be reachable via dashing or wall-jumps
  • Dash Grab: You can grab shots out of the air while dashing
  • Maximum Information: We tried to maximize player information and minimize hidden information. You can run, but you can't hide
  • Three Game Modes: The Quest for Hyperion, The Battle Arena, and The Trials of Time

The Battle Arena

  • Play against your friends over a series of quick matches to determine the winner, often with a nail-biting ending
  • Dynamic Game Balancing: Keeps competition fierce by buffing the underdogs of a tournament
  • Diverse power-ups and weapon types ensure no two matches are alike
  • A variety of power-ups and weapon types ensure that no two matches are ever the same
  • Best played with friends, on a couch, together in real life

The Trials of Time
