Ludo Fighters press kitEverything you need to write it up

Ludo Fighters is Ludo reloaded: every piece is a cartoon soldier and every capture is a short gun fight. Four squads, four battlefields, Lumi AI opponents and pass and play on one phone.

Ludo Fighters keeps the Ludo everyone knows, the standard board, the 52-square track, the home lanes and the safe stars, and changes the one moment that always felt flat: the capture.

Land exactly on an enemy and your soldier stops one square short. Both soldiers raise their rifles, three shots ring out, and the enemy is knocked out, vanishes in a puff of smoke and respawns at its base. The whole fight takes about 1.3 seconds, and players can tap to skip it. Soldiers on a safe star carry a shield, so shots bounce off with a ricochet.

Four squads of four soldiers (Red, Green, Yellow and Blue) fight across four battlefields: Jungle, Desert, Snowfield and Night Ops. Players can take on Lumi AI, the game's computer opponent, on Easy, Normal or Hard, set up a custom match for 2 to 4 players, or pass one phone around with friends. House rules, from needing a 6 to leave base to playing with two dice, are switches in the menu.

The combat is cartoon only: no blood, no gore. The game uses real recorded sounds and battle music made in code. Ludo Fighters is developed and published by Lacspace, a software company registered in Nepal, and is coming soon to Google Play and the App Store.
