Yoinkers! is a chaotic, high-velocity local party game designed for people who suck at precise aim shooters, but wanna steal stuff from their friends and cause absolute mayhem.


The plan is simple: Steal the crown, hold it to win, and send everyone else flying.

Key Features

  • Goofy Hot Potato Gameplay: Touch the holder to steal the crown and stack 10 seconds of hold time to win.
  • Shrinking-Timer Panic: Every steal reduces the time needed to win. The longer the round drags on, the faster and more chaotic it gets.
  • Crazy Knock-back: A half-second immunity window combined with launch physics sends victimized friends flying completely off the map.
  • Ever-Changing Arenas: Auto-shuffling levels loaded with launch pads, moving walls, and physics crates you can push around to build temporary blockades or crush your rivals.
  • Immaculate Visual "Pizzazz": Screen-shake hit-stops, particle explosions on every jump/land/steal, speed trails, and an aggressive pulsing vignette when someone is seconds from victory.
  • Plug & Play Anywhere: Powered by joypad.js for seamless compatibility with almost any mainline or budget controller, plus 2-player local support on a single shared keyboard.

Local Multiplayer / Controls

This game supports up to 6 players, 2 keyboard players (WASD/Arrow Keys) and up to four gamepads (connected via Bluetooth/USB).

Move Left Stick WASD / Arrow  Keys
Jump A / Cross W / ↑ Up Arrow

While 6 players theoretically works based on compatibility, there has not been much balancing regarding time to win, map sizes, etc.
