Singulus by HeyChinaski
There's only one sword and one shield to share between all the gladiators.
Use the arrow keys to move and space to throw the sword. The first player to 5 wins.
It is an online multiplayer game but there are AI bots to make up the numbers if the server is quiet.
If there's seems to be a problem then the server may be down. http://twitter.com/HeyChinaski is the place to get support.

It's raining stars for you!
I also found there to be too many players on the field. Perhaps after playing it for a while it becomes easier, but I found that it was overwhelming for the first few seconds to figure out what was going on.
It also makes it difficult for a specific individual to get items, since the likelyhood of being the closest to where it spawns exponentially goes down with more players.
It was a nice idea overall, but I felt like it was too chaotic personally. I didn't feel as if I had any impact, I was but a pawn put on the field to battle other, better pawns haha.
@hogjed the number of players depends on how many people are online at once. Perhaps I should have enforced a maximum of around 4.
@AtomicVikings It is a multiplayer, did you only get to fight bots?
But really impressive indeed that you can get multiplayer for LD!
Simple but fun lol. :D
