One circle, one number, and a whole map up for grabs. That number is everything. It is your land, your army, and your score rolled into one, printed right on your face for everyone to see. Hold to draw a line, loop it back into your own turf, and every inch inside is suddenly yours. Getting big feels great. Holding on is the real game. The smaller you are the faster you move, so there is always some hungry little player ready to outrun you, wear you down in the open, and walk off with your kingdom while you watch. Step onto someone's home ground though and you are gone in a blink. No lobbies. No waiting. You die, you are back in a second, already plotting the comeback. What you are walking into: Fast fights in the wild where size is power but speed is survival A live leaderboard you can shoot up in a single run A world that rolls from bright day into deep night Skins, crowns, swords, wings and more to show everyone who you are Private arenas so you can drag your friends in with one code Free to play, easy to pick up, almost impossible to put down. Jump in and go take some turf. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
