Turnament — Play Free Online

Turnament is an action and shooting game that runs straight in the browser, with nothing to install. You move with the keyboard, aim with the mouse, and spend each session reacting to what the screen throws at you. It is a different kind of pick from the site's headline game, Doodle Jump, but the appeal is similar: a short, repeatable loop where each attempt teaches you something for the next one.

Where Doodle Jump asks you to keep climbing with a single tilt of the wrist, Turnament gives you two inputs to juggle at once, one hand on movement and the other on the pointer. That makes it a good change of pace if you have been playing one-button jumpers for a while and want something that asks for more aiming and positioning.

It suits a quick break as well as a longer sit-down, because you can stop after any round and lose nothing. We have not listed a level count or mode list here, since we would rather give you what we can confirm than guess at details of the build.

How to play

Use the arrow keys or WASD to move your character and the mouse to aim and to select items in menus. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead; the game uses touch in place of the keyboard and mouse.

Start with the menus using the mouse, then keep one hand on the movement keys and the other on the mouse. Aim with the pointer while you keep moving rather than stopping to line up a shot, because standing still in an action game is usually the quickest way to lose a round.

Tips

• Spend your first round learning how the character moves and how quickly aiming responds, before you worry about score.
• Keep moving while you aim. Small sideways adjustments are safer than long pauses.
• Use fullscreen if the play area feels cramped; the button sits under the game window.
• If the game stalls or a menu stops responding, reload the page and it will restart cleanly.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

If you want to stay with the platform-hopping side of the site, Helix Jump and Bird Jumper are built around jumping and timing rather than shooting. For something with a more combat-flavoured feel, Day D Tower Rush and Bloons Tower Defense 2 are strategy games where you plan rather than aim. Fireboy and Watergirl is the one to pick if you want to play with a friend on the same keyboard.

Turnament is best for players who like their action played with a keyboard and mouse and who enjoy short sessions they can drop into any time.
