Play Blast Arena online
Blast Arena is a fast 2D top-down arena shooter: you are Zappy, a plucky zap-bot dropped into a neon scrapyard arena with 7 rival Grumble bots. WASD to move, mouse to aim, hold click to spray energy bolts. First bot to 15 kills takes the match — or be the top scorer when the 3-minute horn blows. Deaths cost you 1.6 seconds on the respawn pad (with a 2-second shield), repair cells keep you patched, and the Grumbles are always hunting each other too, so every match is a proper free-for-all.
How to control Blast Arena
- Move: WASD or arrow keys
- Aim: mouse
- Fire: hold left mouse button
- Touch: drag left half to move, drag right half to aim and fire
- M: mute / unmute
- R: restart match (on game-over screen)

Tips for a better run
Keep moving — a strafing target is much harder for Grumbles to lead than a standing one.
Use the scrap blocks as cover: bolts die on walls, so peek-shoot around corners.
Grab repair cells when you're under 50 HP; denying them to wounded bots matters too.
Lead your shots: bolts take time to travel, so aim slightly ahead of a sprinting rival.
Respawning with a shield is a free push — dive straight back into the fight while it lasts.
Frequently asked questions
Is Blast Arena a copy of Cryzen.io?
No. Blast Arena only takes the general arena-shooter genre (move, aim, shoot, last-bot-standing deathmatch) as inspiration. Everything else — the zap-bot premise, the character names, the arena layout, the AI behavior, all code, art, and audio — is original work. It is a 2D single-file game with local AI opponents, not a multiplayer FPS, and it references no existing game's branding, maps, or characters.
How do I move and shoot?
Move with WASD or arrow keys, aim with the mouse, and hold left-click to fire your zap blaster. On touch screens, drag the left half of the screen to move and the right half to aim and auto-fire.
How do I win a match?
Be the first to 15 kills, or be the top scorer when the 3-minute timer runs out. If you die, you respawn after 1.6 seconds with a 2-second shield, so stay aggressive.
What do the green cross packs do?
They are repair cells: walk over one to restore 40 HP (up to full). They spawn every few seconds and the bots can grab them too, so don't let a wounded rival heal up.
Why did I die instantly sometimes?
You didn't — a blaster bolt does 20 damage, so 5 hits take you down. Your shield ring means you're invulnerable right after respawning; the HUD shield icon shows while it's active.
