About

Lavalord

Features
Read full description

Lavalord is a fast, physics-driven multiplayer brawler. Two to four mages square off on a circular island in a sea of lava โ€” and the island is shrinking. Your spells aren't about damage, they're about position: every blast, dash, and fireball is built to SHOVE your opponents toward the edge. Last one standing wins. KNOCKBACK IS THE GAME Forget health bars. Victory is about where you stand and where you push everyone else. Read your opponents, bait their moves, and launch them into the lava. QUICK MATCHES, BIG SWINGS Rounds last a couple of minutes. Death is sudden, comebacks are constant, and one well-aimed blast can flip the whole match. PICK YOUR SPELLS Build a loadout from a growing roster โ€” Fireball, Surge, Homing, Repel, Sprint, Meteor, Invisibility. Each one moves people, not just hurts them. PLAY YOUR FRIENDS Host or join a room with a simple code and battle 2โ€“4 players in real time over the internet. Or practice solo to sharpen your aim. EVER-CHANGING ARENAS Classic, Islands, Donut, Iceland, Tower, Eye โ€” each map changes how knockback and the shrinking edge play out, so no two matches feel the same. Simple to pick up. Endlessly chaotic with friends. Get pushing.

Ruly: Tilt Your phone is the controller. Tilt left and right to guide the ball through an endless vertical run. Pass through the gaps, react quickly, and keep moving. Then the rules change. Controls reverse. Gates start moving. Wind pushes the ball. The screen goes dark. Gaps shrink. Just when you find your rhythm, Ruly changes the game. No joystick. No buttons during a run. Just tilt, adapt, and survive. EVERY RUN KEEPS CHANGING Discover new rules as you play and learn how to survive each one. The strategy that worked a few seconds ago might not work anymore. PUSH YOUR BEST Climb through difficulty tiers, unlock new ball skins, and build your score. Risky near-misses can reward you with style multipliers, but one wrong move can end the run. COMPETE Submit your score to Game Center and see how you compare on Global and Friends leaderboards. ONE MORE CHANCE Once per run, you can watch a short rewarded ad to continue from where you left off. Or restart instantly and try again. Tilt. Adapt. Survive. How far can you go?
