Multiplayer, the way Blitz was meant to be played
Four players. No extra controllers
Everyone's phone is a controller. Open Settings → Players, and friends on the same Wi-Fi scan the QR code, turn their phone sideways and they're in. Mix phones with gamepads, up to four players on one screen.
Phones as pads
Scan, turn sideways, play. A stick on the left, Pass, Jump and Turbo on the right, buttons labelled for what's on screen.
Who's who
Each controller lights up in its player's colour. Identify buzzes one, Swap trades places, Make Player 1 hands over the menus.
Tournaments
