Sumo.io - Push Them Off
Shove your rivals off a shrinking sumo platform in this fast and funny .io brawler. Bump, dash and outsmart the crowd to be the last fighter standing, then spend your coins on hats and belts.
About this game
Sumo.io is a free, fast-paced arena brawler where the only goal is to push everyone else into the water. You and nine rivals start on a round wooden platform. After a few seconds it begins to shrink, forcing everyone closer together until only one fighter is left standing.
The controls are simple, but the fights are full of surprises. You slide around with a bit of momentum, bump into rivals to knock them back and time your dash to ram them right off the edge. Big dashes send fighters flying, so be careful not to charge straight off the platform yourself. You grab the power-ups that appear in the ring: a speed boost to out-run the crowd, or a heavy shield that makes you bigger and much harder to push.
Tips: As the platform shrinks you get squeezed toward the middle, so stay away from the edges when you can. Use your dash to ram a rival when you have them near the edge. A dash sends you flying too, so choose your own charge toward the edge carefully. Speed and weight power-ups are worth picking up.
Rounds only last about half a minute, so there is always time for one more. You win a round or shove off rivals to earn coins, then spend them in the shop on funny hats and colorful belts, with a live preview before you buy. If you get knocked out, you can optionally watch a short ad to jump back into the round or double the coins you just earned. On desktop the mouse moves you toward the cursor, WASD or arrow keys are an alternative, click, Space or Shift dash and Esc opens the menu (the game keeps running). On mobile in landscape you use the left joystick and a big DASH button.
How to play
Stay on the platform and push the other fighters off it. The platform slowly shrinks, so you will be forced into the middle. Bump rivals and use your dash to ram them over the edge. Pick up power-ups for extra speed or extra weight. The last fighter standing wins the round and earns the most coins.
