## What is Beasts of Balance?

Beasts of Balance is an award-winning game of dexterity, strategy and creation. Stack magical Artefacts in precarious towers to create digital worlds bursting with life on your phone, tablet or TV!
 
 Play together in Co-op Mode or get ready to tussle in Battles Mode.
 
 It takes skill and smarts to build a huge tower and keep your beasts alive, but watch out… the world explodes when the tower collapses!
