About the game

A back-garden water fight in first person. Grab a soaker, chase the Splashkins through crates and hedges, and score tags before the clock runs dry.

Summer in the back garden, and the Splashkins have declared war.

Soakyard is a fast first-person water fight for one player against up to seven plush garden rivals. Seven original soakers each behave differently — the Spray Nozzle throws twenty droplets at once up close, the Pressure Lance reaches clear across the yard, and the Balloon Lob will happily launch you onto a crate if you aim at your own feet. Stay dry by grabbing towels, ponchos and rain slickers, and watch for the Pressure Surge that turns your soaker up to four times as strong.

The Arena Editor lets you paint your own yard — ground, crates, fences and hedges, plus spawns and pickups — across three save slots, then play it immediately.

Everything runs from a single offline file: no accounts, no network, no ads, no purchases. Eleven languages, touch, keyboard and gamepad support throughout. Or play with a friend: open a game, hand them six digits — or the QR on screen, or the link — and you are both in the same yard, soaking each other and the Splashkins between you.

How to play

  1. Every hit takes DRY off your meter. Empty and you burst into spray — then re-form at a spawn. Tag a Splashkin to score.
  2. Tap a chip on the weapon bar to switch. The Balloon Lob and Soap Bomb splash — stand clear, or ride your own splash for a boost.
  3. Towels dry you off, ponchos and slickers soak up damage for you, canisters refill a soaker, and a Pressure Surge quadruples your spray for twenty seconds.
