[[AC:'''BLUE WINS''' \\
TROPE VICTORY]]

An UpdatedRerelease developed in conjunction with Liquid Bit and entitled ''Killer Queen Black'' was announced at E3 2018. It was released on UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] via UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on October 11th, 2019, with cross-play compatibility between both platforms. The gameplay is adapted into 4v4 battles rather than the original 5v5, however the game does introduce new stages and new station upgrades, as well as a new visual style and soundtrack.

* VideoGamesLives: Drones get infinite. Queens get three.

* DashAttack: The Queen can dive to attack, essentially [[DeathFromAbove dashing]] ''[[DeathFromAbove downward]]''. Frequently results in a GoombaStomp.

'''''Killer Queen''''', created and designed by Josh [=DeBonis=] and Nik Mikros of [=BumbleBear=] Games, bills itself as the world's first ten-player arcade strategy game. It is a single-screen[[note]](two cabinets, simultaneously showing the same screen)[[/note]] PlatformGame in which two teams of five, each consisting of four Drones and one Queen, struggle for dominance.

Not to be confused with the Music/{{Queen}} song of the same name or the Stand from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'' that is named after said Queen song.

A 4v4 console version of the game with updated graphics, developed in conjunction with Liquid Bit and entitled ''Killer Queen Black'', was announced at E3 2018 and would premiere on the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in fall of 2019.

* WrapAround: Left-to-right in both of the current stages, but the "night" map also has two gaps on the bottom platform that wrap around to the top of the level.

* TheArtifact: Early concepts of the game had the "slow" victory involve climbing up the sides of the screen - hence, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers the snail]]. Later on it only required the player to move along the bottom, but the snail remained.

* {{Mascot}}: The Queens themselves. The CharacterTitle is named for them, and they both appear (in silhouette, swinging their swords at each other) in the game's official logo.

** If by some chance all five members of the winning team are positioned in the iris, it gains a golden border and the phrase "[[AC:Family Portrait]]" appears.

** The Drones (as with the Warriors) are palette swaps of one another: all identical in shape, but the patterns on their clothes differ. Fans have taken to calling them "Skull", "Checkers", "Stripes" and "Abs" (the last because he goes shirtless).
