About Shadow Arena
Shadow Arena is a top-down arena survival game for you and a friend, played together online. You fight off waves of monsters and bosses, level up in the middle of combat, pick upgrades on the spot, and try to outlast whatever the arena throws at you.
Vampire Survivors was the inspiration, and the creator set out to make something in that style, building it with Cursor and using Three.js to render the arena in 3D. It came 260th of 945 entries in Vibe Jam 2026, and phones are supported alongside desktop.
The pace is frantic, and the leveling system encourages experimenting with unusual builds rather than settling on one setup. With two players in the arena, every wave becomes a shared effort.
