Powerline io – Overview
Powerline io is a free-to-play, multiplayer online battle arena game released in 2022 for PC and mobile devices. Players take control of electricity bolt avatars and battle for dominance on a dynamic powerline grid.
Gameplay
The goal in Powerline io is to zap and eliminate enemy bolt avatars while avoiding getting hit yourself. Matches take place on evolving powerline maps filled with nodes and branches for cover.
Players move their bolt up, down, left, and right along the powerlines to chase down opponents. Direct hits from your bolt’s electricity attack reduces enemies’ health. Power-ups like damage boosts and lightning strikes randomly spawn to gain advantages.
The play zone shrinks over time, forcing bolts closer together into intense, last-bolt-standing action. The last bolt alive wins the match. Players earn XP and unlock new abilities, skins, emotes and more as they level up.
