LIVEFree Windows game for TikTok LIVE
Your viewers pick a side in the comments and push a giant ball across the arena in a live, animated tug-of-war. Likes and gifts can add optional boosts, but comments are all anyone needs to play.
Quick answer
RIVALS LIVE: Team Battle Arena is a free interactive battle game for TikTok LIVE, made by Matterlane Studio for Windows PCs. Two teams face off on screen. Viewers join a side by commenting, and every valid comment pushes the giant ball toward the other team. A knockout or the final whistle decides the round, and the next match starts automatically.
The game receives your LIVE's comments, likes and gifts through TikFinity Desktop on the same PC and draws the battle in a portrait LIVE Output window that you add to TikTok LIVE Studio.

RIVALS LIVE gives viewers a fun reason to comment and take part, which can make a LIVE more engaging. It does not guarantee income and does not make an account eligible for TikTok LIVE gifts or monetization. Any earnings depend on TikTok's own eligibility rules, programs and policies, and on what your viewers choose to do. Viewers never need to send gifts to play.
