Assault Wing is a fast-paced multiplayer action game. Up to four players fly their ships in cave-like two-dimensional arenas and shoot each other. They can choose from 10 different spaceships, many arenas and dozens of weapons to blow friends away with. No AI opponents are provided.

Arenas feature slippery, flammable and indestructible surfaces, stationary flamethrowers, parallax scrolling backgrounds, and power-ups that appear randomly.
