## Description
Get ready for an adrenaline rush in Light Speed: Arena, a frantic real-time shooter that will put your skills to the test! Here, you don't just place your spaceships on the battlefield, you also aim with them, all while time is ticking. Each round, all players place their pieces simultaneously, trying to take down opponents, collect valuable minerals from asteroids, and, of course, impress the game's sponsors. But beware of friendly fire! The cool part is that after 8 rounds of pure tension, you take a photo of your play with a smartphone app. It's the app that will resolve the entire battle and calculate the scores – but if you prefer, you can do it manually with the downgrade pack. With unique factions and a setup that changes each game, the fun is guaranteed for those who enjoy fast-paced action, real-time strategy, and a touch of dexterity. It's the perfect type of game for those who want something different, that doesn't take too much time, and still uses technology to enhance the gameplay. If you enjoy games that mix science fiction with a touch of sports and lots of action, Light Speed: Arena is for you!
