Pepa Semeno, a fighter from Eva PvP

A 1v1 fighting game for phones. All 17 fighters were drawn by hand on paper, cut out and brought to life like paper puppets.

Get the game

iPhone: search for Eva PvP on the App Store. Before the release, testers install it with Apple's free TestFlight app from the invite link they were sent.

Android: download the game file and install it.

Download for Android (.apk)

The game is free. No ads, no purchases, no account.

How to play

  • Left thumb: the joystick appears where you touch. Move left and right; push down to drop through a floating platform. It also aims your ranged attack.
  • Right thumb: ATTACK (the biggest button, tap up to 3 times for a combo), JUMP (tap again in the air for a double jump), RANGED (it shows how long until you can shoot again) and ULT (your special move: it fills up as you land hits and glows when it is ready).
  • Each round both fighters have 100 HP. Bring the other one to 0 to win the round. Best of 3 rounds wins the match.
  • Watch out for the lava: it burns and bounces you back up, and after 60 seconds it starts to rise.

Play a friend online

  1. Both of you open Eva PvP and pick a fighter.
  2. One player taps CREATE LOBBY. A 4-character code appears, for example K7QX.
  3. The other player taps JOIN LOBBY and types the code (or uses PASTE if the code was sent in a message).
  4. When both fighters are in the arena: 3, 2, 1, FIGHT!

iPhone and Android players can fight each other. You can be in the same room or in different cities; you just both need the internet.

Practice

Tap PRACTICE and choose EASY, MEDIUM or HARD to fight a bot. Practice works without the internet.

Trophies

Online: win +5 trophies, lose -4. Against the bot you collect separate stars: +1 for EASY, +2 for MEDIUM, +5 for HARD. Trophies are saved on your phone.

Help

My friend can't find my lobby / "can't connect"
  • Both phones need the internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data).
  • Both phones need the newest version of the game. Older versions with 6-character codes cannot meet the new ones.
  • The code works only while the player who created it is still in the lobby. If they left, create a new one.
  • Codes never contain O, 0, I, 1 or L, so there is nothing to mix up. Check the 4 characters again.
  • Still nothing? Close the game on both phones, open it again and make a new lobby.
"Reconnecting..." or "Your friend left"

If a phone briefly loses its connection during a match, the fight can pause with "Reconnecting..." for up to 20 seconds and then go on with the HP and score kept. "Your friend left" means the other player left the match or closed the game.

How do I install the Android version?
  1. Open this page on the Android phone and tap Download for Android.
  2. Open the downloaded EvaPvP.apk.
  3. If Android asks, allow your browser to install unknown apps (Settings opens; switch it on and go back).
  4. Tap Install. To update, download the newest file and install it over the old one; your trophies stay.

Needs Android 7.1 or newer.

How do I install it on iPhone?

From the App Store: search for Eva PvP. Testers before the release: install Apple's free TestFlight app, open the invite link, and tap Install. TestFlight also updates the game.

Where are my trophies saved? Can I move them?

Only on your phone. There is no account, so they cannot be moved to another phone. Deleting the app deletes them.

Can I turn off the music or the sounds?

Yes: tap the gear on the main menu for music, sound and the paper edges look.

Does the game collect my data?

Very little: online play needs a random player ID and your IP address to connect the two phones. No name, no chat, no ads, no tracking. Read the privacy policy.
