Multiplayer mode allows you to play with your family and friends anywhere you are ! You can also play with other Arcade Fitness users all over the world.
In order to access Multiplayer mode, you first need to complete a level in training mode.
Then, simply click on 'Play' button of Arcade Fitness Main Menu. Then the app will search for your device or sensor, that's why you need to start running or pedalling. Once the device or sensor is found you will be asked to create a new room if no rooms are currently open, otherwise you will have the option to joint an existing room or create a new one.
Once the room is created or joined and the eventual workout for training is choosen, you enter the waiting room.
You need to wait for other players in this waiting room.
The best way to find and coordonates with other players is to use our Discord 'looking-foe-players' textual chat room.
Join us by click the Discord icon in the app's Main Menu.
Yes, again, Discord is the solution, we invite you to join us over there...
Discord offers both voice and textual chat rooms.
Want to have fun but winning is important to you ? Drop bombs to slow down the other players. This adds a strategic dimension because you need to be ahead of your opponents to attack them.
In order to create a bomb, press the 'return' key on keyboard, click or touch the middle of the screen, or use a gamepad such as 8BitDo Zero gamepad. If you are using the MoonRun, you can do a squat.
You can get bombs with virtual coins or buy them directly with real money (Android only today, click on the Shop button in Main Menu).
When throwing a bomb to your opponents, you have to know that it will blast 2 seconds after you create it and then be effective for 2 seconds. After you have created a bomb, you cannot create another one for the next 10 seconds. Bombs can be avoided after explosion buy jumping over it or going under it, depending on the case where it has been created.
In order to help people stay together and to add more strategy while racing, there is drafting in multiplayer mode between real people (not with AI bots). On the bottom left side of the screen, you can see how much energy you are sparing...
Of course, if you want to send messages to other athletes, we have a Strava cycling club and a Strava running club too...
