Frutiger Friends IO

Mission briefing

Frutiger Friends IO is an online multiplayer game made for playing with friends! Meet in a sunny social hub, explore together, and jump into two game modes: SKYSCRAPER — Chase your friends across glass towers in a game of tag! Run up walls, leap between rooftops, and grab power-ups to escape or catch every runner. DOLPHINDITCH — Team up, ride dolphins, pass the ball, and score through your opponents' hoops in a sparkling lagoon! Earn coins, customize your character, and hang out between matches. Enjoy a colorful Frutiger Aero world together on desktop or mobile.

Field manual

Explore the hub and walk through a portal to join a game. SKYSCRAPER: Red chasers catch blue runners by touching them. Caught runners become chasers too! Runners win if someone stays free until time runs out. Chasers win by catching everyone. Run up walls and collect power-ups to help your side. DOLPHINDITCH: Ride a dolphin, pass the ball, and throw it through the opposing team's hoops. The team with the most points wins. DESKTOP CONTROLS: WASD - Move Mouse - Look around Space - Jump C - Let go of a wall R - Use a collected power-up E - Interact Tab - Show the mouse cursor Esc - Open the menu In Dolphinditch: Left mouse button or F - Throw the ball or lunge to steal Q - Pass B - Toggle ball camera MOBILE CONTROLS: Drag to move and use the on-screen buttons to jump, use power-ups, and interact. In Dolphinditch, use the throw, pass, and camera buttons.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a flexible screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for .io arena operations

• Eat at the edges. The centre of an .io arena is where the giants feed; the rim is where small players grow fat on leftovers nobody bothers to chase.
• Never chase a smaller player in a straight line for long. Every second of pursuit is a second the whole arena can see, and something bigger is always watching the chase instead of the chased.
• Use your size as a rumour, not a shield. The moment you make the leaderboard, you become content for everyone's evening — spend big size on safety, position and patience.

Frutiger Friends IO — questions from the ranks

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is Frutiger Friends IO?

Frutiger Friends IO is filed in our .io Arena theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run Frutiger Friends IO on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. Frutiger Friends IO is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
