What Is Gladihoppers?

Gladihoppers is a 2D physics fighting game that is based on physical fighting inside the arena. It was developed by Dreamon Studios. With unlike good fighting games that have a rigid movement system, Gladihoppers is a blend of frenzied action and wobbly ragdoll physics, and all fainting, jumping, and hitting are both tactical and absurd in a good fashion. You get possession of a heroic gladiator and go to other arenas where survival is the name of the game. The goal? Survive a longer than your competitor, gain glory, and be promoted to be the champion of the coliseum.
