Pen Clash — the free 3D pen fight game
Remember flicking pens across the desk in class? Pen Clash is that game, rebuilt in 3D with real physics. It runs in your browser, it's free, and there's nothing to install.
How to play
- On your turn, press on your pen and pull back, like a slingshot.
- Aim with the direction you pull. Pull further for more power.
- Let go. Your pen flies forward and slams into whatever is in the way.
- Knock every other pen off the desk. The last pen left on the desk wins the round.
Each turn you either flick your pen or pick it up and move it somewhere safer. If your own flick sends your pen off the desk, you lose the round, so power isn't everything. In long rounds, masking tape closes in on the desk and any pen outside the tape is out.
