Beluga Polo

Beluga Polo is fast, friendly water polo for two players. You control a team of four swimmers — three in the field and a goalie — in three-minute matches where every goal counts and nobody is safe from a good dunking.

SIMPLE TO PLAY, HARD TO MASTER • Swim with the joystick, tap a teammate to take control of them. • Drag to aim and release to throw: a straight drag is a flat shot or a crisp pass, curve it up for a lob over the defence, curve it down for a skip throw that bounces off the water. • Tap to grab at the ball carrier. Double-tap to shove them under. • Leap out of the water with the ball, or fake a shot to send the goalie the wrong way.

PLAY AGAINST REAL PEOPLE • Quick Match pairs you with someone of a similar level — and looks further afield the longer you wait. • Play a friend with a join code. • Every online match counts towards your rating, and the leaderboard shows where you stand.

OR AGAINST THE MACHINE • Three difficulty levels, no internet needed. The goalies guard their doorstep, the attackers raid in lanes and the defenders mark you — Easy is a gentle warm-up, Hard is a real opponent.

POOLS WITH A VIEW • Play in an indoor hall or a sunny outdoor pool, and take the game further afield: the open sea, an arctic ice shelf, an alpine lake, a jungle clearing, a desert oasis, or a working harbour between the moored boats. Each has its own water, light, scenery and sound.

MAKE THEM YOURS • Dress your team in a range of colour sets — from classic swimmers to something a little more unusual. Try any of them on in the menu before you decide.

POWERS • Passes, steals and goals fill your gauge. Unleash a burst of speed, a harder shot, or a spell where nobody can take the ball from you.

Short matches, no adverts, and no interruptions — just water polo.
