Grab a friend and squeeze in at one keyboard. The Reapers: Tournament of Destiny unblocked is a pixel-art duel where each player controls a winged reaper, a blue one and a red one, armed with a scythe.
You get only two moves: a swing and a parry. That keeps the rules tiny and makes every exchange about spacing and nerve. Kilian Arjona coded it and Valeria Sivkova handled the art and sound for js13kGames 2022.
How to play The Reapers: Tournament of Destiny
A tap of the X key gets things going from the opening screen. After a short ready call, both fighters can move. The first player starts on the left, the second on the right.
Each reaper has a health bar at the top. A clean scythe hit takes a big chunk, so three hits knock a fighter out and end the round. Both players then reset to their starting spots. The first to win two rounds takes the match.
Swings have a wind-up, a short window where they can land, and then a recovery. If the other player parries during that window, your attack is cancelled and you are left stunned. But a parry that catches nothing also leaves the defender frozen for a moment.

Tips
- Fight at the edge of your reach. Step in, swing and step out. Standing nose to nose just trades hits.
- Bait the parry. Walk forward as if to strike, then back off. A nervous opponent may guard too early and get stuck.
- Punish a whiff. When the other reaper misses or parries thin air, that recovery moment is your chance to land a free hit.
- Turn on hitboxes to learn. Press T to show the attack areas, which helps you see exactly how far a swing reaches.
The Reapers: Tournament of Destiny questions
Is there a single-player mode?
No. The game has no AI fighter, which means two humans are required. The left-hand player uses S, D, X and C, while the other takes H, J, B and N.
What happens after a match?
A screen names the winner with a short bit of story. You can pick Rematch for another fight or go back to the menu.
Can I play on a phone or tablet?
No. There are no touch controls, and both players share a physical keyboard. Use a laptop, Chromebook or desktop.
