Videogame about throwing people off the roof is a hit in China thanks to 'Tik Tok'


In 'Party.io', players control a play dough-like figure to grab each other and throw them off the arena, which range from floating houses to hot air balloons to a birthday cake.

In China, mobile games and short-video apps are going head-to-head for the attention of millennials. But sometimes, they too can help each other out.

A little-known smartphone game called Party.io has become a sudden hit in China after videos of users playing the game gained prominence on Douyin, the short-video app that is known as TikTok overseas.
