WHAT YOU CAN TRY
A familiar world. Room to experiment.
Trickshot training
Explosive bullets, movable bots, and spawn and reset points you set yourself. Play by yourself, or enjoy hitting shots with your friends.
Offline bots
Up to 12 bots on all 16 original maps, with a bot difficulty you can change. Play on your own — no connection, no other players needed.
Saves on iCloud & Google Drive
Progress follows you across devices, and none of your personal data is needed to make it work.
4v4 and 6v6, later
Coming after launch, built on the same end-to-end relay as 1v1.
Customizable graphics
Tune resolution, frame rate and effects to match your device.
Customizable controls
Move, resize and remap the touch layout until it feels right.
Controller support
Pair a gamepad and play with the same input as on PC.
Gameplay is incomplete. Expect missing behavior, bugs and desyncs.
