About this game
Twin-stick multitasking
You're playing a classic ball game while juggling minigames and pushing snails that punish your opponent. Use abilities to defeat your rivals.
4-player local multiplayer mayhem
Chaos on your couch! Invite friends and play high-energy 2v2 matches. Or try 1v1 if you dare.
And just when you think you can handle it..
..the green snail swaps your sticks, your opponent charges the powered-up version of the most destructive ability in the game, and you totally forgot to play the minigame.
The pumping music..
..is the only thing you can rely on in Kinetic Neo Ornate Bout.

Controller Recommended
For the best experience, play with a gamepad. Keyboard works, but button prompts are not shown. Steam input should be turned OFF for best experience. With it ON, the game still works, but controllers connected after the game starts – or reconnect later – may not be recognized correctly.

Free-To-Play
Important! Starting on August 1st 2026 (at 7:00 AM PST to be pacific ;) Kinetic Neo Ornate Bout will transition from a paid game to a permanently free-to-play title. Why am I making this change?This game is just too hard! And while I made it hard on purpose, only a few have taken on this multitasking challenge with a learning curve as steep as a brick wall. It takes a rare combination of focus, multitasking, skill, and courage to master the multi-layer chaos of Kinetic Neo Ornate Bout. You bought the game already?To the few of you who bought the game: Thank you. You believed in something I built, and that means a lot to me. If you feel like it, grab some friends and give it another try. It’s damn hard—but that's its only reason for being.Oscar DuestRead full article on Community Announcements (Oscar Duest)AnnouncementsOfficial
