About

Step It

Features
Read full description

Race to the far side. Wall off your rival. Win the duel. Step It is a one-on-one strategy board game. You and your opponent start on opposite edges of a 9x9 board, and the first to reach the far side wins. Every turn is one decision: take a step toward your goal, or put a wall in your rival's way. WALLS THAT KEEP COMING BACK You start with three walls and earn another every third turn, so the pressure builds and breaks all match long. Force a detour early, or hold a wall for the moment your rival thinks the lane is clear. A wall can slow anyone down but never shut them in: there is always a way through, and finding it first is the whole game. A HERO FOR EVERY STYLE Each hero brings one signature ability that charges as you play. • Dash takes two steps in a single turn. • Wrecker destroys a wall right next to them. • Anchor places a wall that can't be broken for three turns. • Overclock gains two walls on the spot. Every ability has a counter, so choosing your hero is part of the plan. New heroes arrive as the seasons change. PLAY YOUR WAY • Ranked battles: earn trophies and climb the Trophy Road from Rookie to Legend. • Casual matches when you just want to play. • Friendly duels: share a room code and play a friend on their own phone. • Practice against the AI on Easy, Normal or Hard. • The Event Lab: Wall Rush with a new wall every turn, Blitz with ten-second turns, and a twenty-wall Marathon. FAST TURNS, SHORT MATCHES Every turn runs on a timer, so matches move quickly and fit into a coffee break. Pick move or wall, then tap the board. SEASONS, REWARDS AND EMOTES Play matches and daily missions to climb the Step Pass and unlock coins, gems, profile frames, heroes and emotes. Collect your daily drop, then cheer, taunt and celebrate with emotes mid-match. Each season gives the arena its own look. Step It is free to play and includes optional in-app purchases.
