Games like Curve Fever: a 1v1 you can send to a friend
Achtung, die Kurve! and Curve Fever belong to one family of games: every player draws a line that never goes away, and the last one who hasn't crashed wins. It started with Snake and the Tron light cycles, and it is still one of the best ways to lose a friendship in two minutes. CUTOFF is our take on it, built as a head-to-head duel.
PLAY A 1V1 NOWWhat is the same
- You leave a permanent trail. Hit any trail, yours or your rival's, and you're out.
- The game is about space: trap the other player before they trap you.
- Rounds are short, so "one more" happens a lot.
What is different
- Straight lines on a grid, not curves. You turn 90 degrees, like the light cycles. It makes the game about planning cut-offs instead of steering.
- Two players, not a free-for-all. It's you against one rival, best of three. No hiding while two other players take each other out.
- No random gaps or power-ups. Both riders get the same arena and the same three boosts per round. The better rider wins.
- The arena shrinks if a round drags on, so nobody can stall.
How to play a friend
- Open CUTOFF and press challenge a friend.
- Send the link on WhatsApp, Discord or anywhere else.
- The match starts when they open it. Neither of you needs an account, and one of you can be on a phone while the other is on a PC.
