How to play Broforce with four phones

Broforce needs JUMP, FIRE, MELEE and SPECIAL, so that's what the layout gives you, plus movement. Four labeled buttons. Here's how to get four players in.

Here is what using it looks like

1. Open QR Controller on the PC and pick the Broforce layout under Controller Type.
2. Add a controller per player, up to four.
3. Everyone scans the QR code with their phone camera. The controller opens in the browser with the buttons already labeled.
4. They join the game the way any gamepad would, even mid level.

Why it works so well on phones

Broforce is a forgiving game, which suits touch controls. The terrain is destructible, the explosions are constant, and half your deaths are funny instead of frustrating.

New players can play within seconds of scanning in, and the buttons are labeled right on their phone, so anyone who walks past the couch can join!
