What is Screencheat?

Screencheat is a first-person arena shooter played in matches on color-coded maps, locally or online. Opponents are invisible, so you watch their screens and use map landmarks to locate them before firing one-hit-kill weapons. You can also play solo time trials or matches against bots.

For you if...

  • +you like fast multiplayer matches with an unusual aiming challenge
  • +you enjoy changing match rules and trying different modes

Not for you if...

  • you prefer shooters where opponents remain visible during combat
  • you want solo play beyond time trials and bot matches

What players say

92% of 1,942 reviews are positive

Players praise the screen-watching mechanic in local matches and the variety of modes and settings. Some say the novelty wears off quickly or that tracking invisible opponents is frustrating.
