Braws

Braws is a popular mobile multiplayer game developed by Happy Whale Studios, first released in 2016. The game is part of the larger *Brawl Stars* franchise, which also includes *Brawl Stars*, a more polished and expanded version of the same core gameplay. Braws is known for its fast-paced, arcade-style combat, where players control characters called "Brawlers" in various game modes such as *Brawl Ball*, *Heist*, *Gem Grab*, and *Showdown*.

The game features a roster of over 20 unique Brawlers, each with distinct abilities and playstyles. Players can unlock and customize their Brawlers through in-game purchases, though the game also offers free-to-play access with optional microtransactions for cosmetic upgrades. Braws operates on a matchmaking system that pairs players of similar skill levels, encouraging competitive and casual play alike.

Braws was initially released as a beta version of *Brawl Stars* before being separated into its own standalone game. While it shares mechanics and assets with *Brawl Stars*, Braws lacks some of the more advanced features, such as ranked play and deeper customization options. Despite this, it remains a fun, accessible option for fans of the franchise who prefer a simpler experience.

The game is available on iOS and Android platforms and has received generally positive reviews for its engaging gameplay and vibrant art style. However, its development has been less frequent compared to *Brawl Stars*, with updates primarily focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. Braws serves as a nostalgic or introductory entry point for players before transitioning to the full *Brawl Stars* experience.
