Smash Champs - Sliced

Tips for Smash Champs - Sliced

In Smash Champs - Sliced, a dropped ball costs a life just like a cut bomb, so you cannot simply wait for safe shots. Long, sweeping strokes that pass through several balls at once score combos, but make sure no bomb sits in the path before you swipe. When balls and bombs come up close together, two short, careful strokes are safer than one big one.

About twelve seconds into each arena the special wave arrives, and that is when most lives are lost. Stay calm, work from one side to the other, and keep your eyes open for the glowing ball that follows. Slicing it takes you to the next arena and gives you a life back, so it is worth reaching even in the middle of a busy wave. Boost balls help as well: one slows the game down, one doubles your points and one starts a frenzy. If you are short of lives, remember that every 150 points brings one back, so a steady score is your safety net.

How to play Smash Champs - Sliced

A run of Smash Champs - Sliced begins when the sensei throws the first ball: slice it and the game starts. From then on, balls fly up from both sides of the arena. Every swipe through a ball scores a point, and cutting two or more in a single stroke makes a combo. Bombs fly up with the balls, and those you leave alone.

You have three lives. Cutting a bomb costs one, and so does letting a ball drop, and if you are short of lives you earn one back every 150 points. About twelve seconds into each arena its special wave arrives, such as an avalanche, a blizzard, an inferno or a tidal wave of balls. Soon afterwards a glowing ball floats up; slice it and you flash to the next arena with a life back. Boost balls turn up as well: one slows the game down, one doubles your points and one starts a frenzy. The run is over when your last life is gone, and your best score is kept on the device.

On a computer you hold the mouse button and swipe through the balls. On a phone or tablet you swipe with a finger. P or Esc pauses the game, and the speaker button mutes the sound.

About Smash Champs - Sliced

Smash Champs - Sliced is a 3D slicing game in the style of the fruit-slicing games, set in the arenas of Smash Champs, a Kiloo mobile game from 2014. Kiloo, the Danish games studio in Aarhus that co-created Subway Surfers with SYBO Games, made it for the browser alongside Smash Champs Arena, which brings back the same champions as a one-on-one fighter. Here you hold a blade instead of fighting, and two champs spar in the corners while you play, a new pair in every arena.

The game suits anyone who likes quick reflex games that are easy to pick up: one gesture is all you need, and a run lasts as long as your three lives do. What keeps it fresh is the journey through the seven arenas, from the Dojo and the Temple Hall to the Arctic Crash Site and the Bayou Swamp, each with its own special wave. Every run starts in a random arena and visits all seven before any of them repeats, so no two runs feel quite the same.
