Water polo, the arcade way

Two players, four swimmers each, one ball and a lot of splashing. Every match is three minutes of passing, lobbing over the goalie, faking the shot, stealing the ball — and dunking whoever holds it.

Controls that fit in one hand (or one pad)

• Swim with the stick, aim and throw with a flick: straight for a shot or a dry pass, curve up for a lob, curve down for a skip off the water.

• Tap a teammate to switch to them — control follows the action.

• Steal with a tap, dunk with a double tap. The referee is the server: no lag advantage.

• Fill your power gauge with skill (passes, steals, goals) and unleash Fast Swim, Strong Shot or No-Steal for five seconds.

• Full keyboard + mouse and controller support on PC.

Play anywhere, against anyone

• Ranked quick match with an Elo-style rating and a leaderboard.

• Host a private game and invite a friend with a code.

• Play against the machine on three difficulties — Easy, Normal, Hard — with goalies that guard their doorstep like they mean it.

• Cross-play with the mobile versions: one player base.

Eight pools, ten colour sets

Indoor arena, outdoor lido, mountain lake, open sea, arctic pool, jungle, oasis and harbour — each with its own weather, birds, boats and light. Dress your squad in ten colour sets, from classic caps to Orcish, Beluga and Shark.

Free to play

The base game with the indoor and outdoor pools and two colour sets is free. The "All Content" pack unlocks every other pool and colour set, now and as new ones are added.
