HOODFIGHTERS runs on Windows PC only

Install on Windows (2 minutes)

1. Download the zip on your Windows PC (64-bit Windows 10 or 11). The demo is about 150 MB.
2. Right-click the zip and choose Extract All, then open the new folder. (Running it from inside the zip without extracting won’t work.)
3. Double-click HOODFIGHTERS.exe. There’s no installer.
4. Windows may show 'Windows protected your PC' because HOODFIGHTERS is a new indie game. Click More info, then Run anyway.
5. Controls: arrow keys to move, Z to confirm, Esc to go back. See or change every key, and set up a controller, in Options > Input.

Still won’t start? Make sure you extracted the whole folder, update your graphics driver, and try again. Then message us below with your Windows version and what you see.
