About Barnburners

Barnburners is 5-on-5 arcade hockey for PC, with big hits, one-timers and fights you control. The full game has 24 fictional clubs and a solo Franchise mode where you set lines, make trades, sign free agents and draft players. Play against the CPU, with up to four people locally, or against one other player online.

The free demo includes four clubs for quick games and one ten-game solo Franchise season as Seattle, including the playoffs and rookie draft. Outdoor games and Pond Hockey are full-game modes.

About the developer

I'm Kyle. I make Barnburners by myself and voice the play-by-play. I started it because I missed the fast, rough hockey games I grew up with and wanted one to play on PC.
