# 1v1.LOL: the build-and-shoot game and what happened to it

Source: https://roam.new/1v1-lol/

1v1.LOL was a free third-person shooter where you build walls and ramps in the middle of a fight. It was made by JustPlay.LOL, an Israeli studio that Playtika bought in 2022. According to the developer's announcement, the official servers shut down in November 2025, so the original game can no longer be played.

## How 1v1.LOL played

Every player had a weapon set and a building tool. In a fight you could drop a wall to block shots, a ramp to get above your enemy, or a floor and a cone to box yourself in. Most duels were won by whoever built faster and took the high ground first, much like building fights in Fortnite.

The game ran on the web and on iPhone and Android. Its quick matches and simple controls made it a favorite for short sessions.


## The modes

- **1v1**: The mode the game was named after: one rival, build and shoot until one of you is down.
- **Box Fight**: A small closed arena built for close-range fights.
- **Battle Royale**: A larger match where players drop in and the last one alive wins.
- **Just Build**: A practice mode with no enemies, for drilling building combos.
- **Party**: Custom games with friends.

## What happened in 2025

JustPlay.LOL announced that 1v1.LOL would close on November 3, 2025. After that date the servers, the website and in-game items stopped working on every platform. Sites that still show a 1v1.LOL game today are copies, archives or fan remakes, not the official game, so be careful what you install or sign in to. For the same build-and-shoot duel on official servers today, Fortnite's building modes are the closest match.
