What it's like
A top-down team brawler for up to eight people, four a side, with bots in every empty spot. Your phone is a twin-stick pad: one thumb moves, the other aims, and every hit you land charges your super.
Eighteen heroes, each with a move only they have. Eleven modes, from Gold rush to a co-op fight against a giant Bone King, on sixteen maps full of spikes, levers and powder kegs. Sign in to keep your trophies, heroes and mastery.
How to play
Pick your loadout
Choose a hero, a weapon, a piece of gear and a perk on your phone, and switch sides if you like. Then tap Ready.
Move and aim
The left stick moves. Tap an attack button to auto-aim (the TV marks who), or drag it to aim and let go to fire.
Charge your super
Land hits, or heals, to charge your super. Supers knock down cracked walls too.
Play the mode
Carry gold, hold the zone, score goals, steal the chest: each mode wins its own way. Most matches are best of three short rounds.
Collect your rewards
Every match pays signed-in players trophies, coins and hero XP. Then a rematch, or back to the lobby.
Streamer mode
Chat cheers
Your viewers get one big Cheer button on their phones. The more of them tap, the fuller the meter on your stream, then confetti. Arena plays the same with or without them.

Once you're hooked
Trophy Road
Every match moves you up the road. Its milestones unlock heroes, modes like Frog Ball and Showdown, coins and reward drops.
Mastery
Playing a hero levels it from 1 to 10: new weapons, gadgets, star powers and looks, and a little more power each level. From level 9, a hypercharge.
Challenges
A ladder of matches against bots for the whole room, each harder than the last. The first clear of each step pays coins and hero XP.

TIP
Hold your phone sideways for the twin sticks.
TIP
Sign in on your phone to keep your progress; guests play the three starting heroes and keep nothing.
TIP
Short on people? Bots fill every empty spot, and the leader sets how well they play.
