Overview
STRAW is a colorful, cartoon-style top-down shooter from developer Team Logik and publisher Logik Games, currently in Early Access on Steam. Instead of a battlefield, matches unfold inside classrooms, where desks and school supplies become cover and paper projectiles fly through the air. The premise is simple and playful: keep your straw ready, take aim, and avoid getting caught by the teacher.
Highlights
- Matches support up to 16 participants, mixing human players and computer-controlled bots in online play through Steam.
- Between shots, players take on classroom activities such as sorting objects, painting, and playing the piano while the room keeps moving around them.
- The school itself is explorable, extending the action beyond a single arena.
The game offers both solo play against bots and online PvP, so you can practice your aim before jumping into a full lobby. What sets it apart from a straightforward arena shooter is the multitasking: you are not only dodging incoming paper but also completing small tasks, which keeps the pace varied and gives each round a different rhythm.
The cartoon presentation and school setting make it approachable for casual players, while the top-down shooting and PvP structure give competitive players something to chase.
Who It's For
This one suits players who enjoy lighthearted arcade shooters, party-style multiplayer sessions with friends, and anyone who likes a playful twist on the arena shooter formula. If you prefer solo practice, the bot matches provide a low-pressure entry point.
