PC (opens in a browser) - Skyrocket Interactive
Arnes De Mano is fighting game with a difference. Instead of bashing combinations of keys or buttons you must 'bash' the onscreen control interface using cursor movements.
The interface is interacted with by placing a cursor over the various segments. The outermost sections being used to make movements and the inner ones to control combative moves.
In the options menu there are 3 levels of difficulty to choose from as well as the option to turn off the appearance of blood. There are two game modes; survival or duel as well as an excellant practice area to learn how to use the interface.
Whilst it does require quick and repetitive movements, Arnes De Mano displays an interesting user interface to open up the fighter genre to pointer control users.
We will be keeping our eyes out for similar imaginative uses of interfaces, which allow pointer users to gain access to games which usually require the use of controllers or keyboards.

Very difficult to play with that, but still fun.
