Find gaming friends who play like you. Before you send a "Let's play!", ampoo shows you what you have in common: the games, when and how you play, skill level, platform and whether you prefer text or voice chat. Once you're friends, text or voice chat to set a time, then jump into the game together. Tired of random teammates? Posted an LFG and nobody showed up? ampoo makes it easy to find a regular squad, with no real name or photo. WHAT YOU CAN DO Find: see why you'd get along People who play your games show up as cards: games in common, play times (Weekday evenings, Weekend evenings…), play style (Casual, Competitive, Beginners welcome), skill level, platform and chat style (Chat, Voice chat). Send a "Let's play!" or skip. Let's play!: both say it and you're friends When you both send one, you become friends. Nobody can message you privately until then. Recruitments: squad up right now Pick a game and start a recruitment for right now, or join one that still has open spots. Ranked, casual or co-op. Recruitments close automatically 24 hours after they start, so old ones never pile up. Communities: a place for each game Group chats around a game, for tips, news and planning the next session. Chats and calls: voice chat while you play You can call once you both give permission. Greeting suggestions make the first message easy. Home: your gaming lobby Friends, the Let's play! you received, recruitments for you and what's going on in your games, all on one screen. New players get a short "First steps" guide.
