**Calling All Morphers** is a video game coinciding with the Morphers television series, that was released on March 4, 2017, for the iTunes App Store and Xbox One. The game was later released on April 2, 2017, for Google Play. It costs $59.99, and Morpher Wheels are purchasable as Microtransactions (with prices ranging from $2 to $100, depending on the number of wheels). Steam and PlayStation 4 versions were also released, coinciding with updates.

## Plot

Florence Ingrid arrives late at Morph-Fest, a party in the Lava Desert, where, unknown to her, the rest of the guests were abducted by the Norphers. Florence gets her first clue after noticing a large amount of Norphers, as well as a strongbox with Sebastian Christian locked in it. Florence later recruits other Morphers like Vincent Ernest and goes to other locations like the Gold Mine and Urban Mountain, and fights other types of Norphers such as Major Norpher and Boomerang Norphers.

After rescuing all 27 of the Morphers (though the quest was initially unlocked simply by rescuing 9), the Morphers are sent by an unknown force to go to Morpher Mountain. Once the Morphers go there, they fight off a giant wave of Norphers, and Major Norpher tries to kill all of the Morphers with an enormous pistol but is told against this by Pheno. The Morphers all do a leap of faith and land unharmed in Morpher Square, where the Norphers have given chase and are armed with missile launchers, then chase the Morphers through the square. Meanwhile, Pheno's airship is destroyed by Norphers with recoilless rifles, and Pheno leaps from his airship, before landing safely with the others via a parachute. The Norphers surround them, however, and a group grabs the Ernests, but most of the Norpher Ships unintentionally suck the other Norphers in, and the Morphers are left without enemies, ending the game.

In a post-credits scene, the Christians dig until they reach bedrock, which fractures, and then reveals a white void, which the Christian villagers run away from, mistaking it for Norpher Land. However, Robert Jacob from Venture, Trigger from The Trigger Movie, Serpent from Vepturegeng, and Barnett Felix from Venturian Battle jump from the void when the Christians flee, revealing that all 1001 Spears properties are connected.

## Gameplay

During standard levels, the game is essentially a standard action/adventure game with strategy, third-person shooter, and puzzle elements. Whenever in combat, players can play as any of the three Morphers in their squad; other Morphers are controlled by AI or additional players (the latter is done similarily to *Left 4 Dead*). Players use their base attacks (each of which has a cooldown) and weapons collected in the level to fight enemies. If their teammates can make a Morph or Merph with their Morpher Wheels rather than a Marph, they get a bonus in combat. Morpher Wheels have a 1-minute cooldown. After completing a level, points collected can be used to purchase upgrades from the in-game stores. Players can upgrade weapons throughout the game; health and special abilities can also be upgraded.

In certain regions, players may place numerous elemental turrets to defend their Morpher Wheel Collectors. Norphers attack randomly, resulting in tower defense sequences. Tower defense sequences play like a traditional tower defense game, although there's a twist; the player selects a Morpher squad before the battle and can use them as extra power to try and stop the Norphers. The Morpher Squad plays similarily in these sections, and they are overall similar to the Mann vs. Machine mode from *Team Fortress 2* and Junkenstein's Revenge from *Overwatch*.

## Official Description

Find lost Morphers, discover new lands and create amazing Morphs, Merphs, or Marphs in a world of beautiful 3D graphics, all while building elaborate structures to secure your Wheeler supplies. Players take the role of Florence Ingrid, a member of the Ingrid Village as she sets forth on a mission to reunite the lost Morpher villages! It will not be an easy task as offensive Norphers roam the lands between all the Morpher villages and cause trouble for everyone in sight. Florence and the rest of the Morphers will have to use all of their wits and work together to find new allies, gain new bases, gather ingredients, get strong and deal with constant the Norpher problem if they plan to ultimately reunite all the Morpher villages! Calling All Morphers was developed and published by the Emmy and Webby-nominated 1001 Spears.

## Trivia

* Major Norpher appeared in the game before he made his debut in Another Norpher.
* Norphers have variations in this game, such as flyswatter machines, cannons, and strong muscles.
	+ Muscle Norpher also makes an appearance in the F. Ganesh Merph mini-game on the Morphers website (it is also included in Calling All Morphers).
* The final update made it so special attacks can make Norphers fly and hit other players, causing the screen to gain a temporary crack as if the Norpher actually hit the screen.
* Each Morpher has their own unique attacks, as well as a unique style of walking.
* There are only fifteen Morphs. They are Florence and Sebastian, Vanessa and Zak, Zoe and Sheldon, Zoe and Tess, Kristian and Vincent, Sid and Jake, Luke and Baylee, Fiona and Krish, Fiona and Chuck, Gordon and Ted, Glenn and Mervyn, Mervyn and Fritz, Winston and Glenn, Torsten and Scarlet, and Howard and Maggie.
	+ Zoe, Fiona, and Mervyn are the only Morphers from each generation who have two Morphs in the game.
* You can take selfies in this game, similar to *Skylanders: Imaginators*.
* It takes up 32 gigabytes to download, making it one of the highest storage killers on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

* Chuck’s golden front teeth can be knocked out by Norphers.
* The Chuck/Fiona Morph is the only Generation 2 Morph in the game that does not appear in the show.
* The game has a double crossover promotion with the LEGO sets. The instructions contain codes for the game that gives Morpher Wheels and automatically unlock a character’s last attack/ability, while the game contains instructions for various Morphs and Merphs.
* The official artwork for certain Morphers have differences from their typical render.
	+ Kristian’s gigantic arm does not have the fist clenched.
	+ Vincent’s mouth is seen shut, even though he is still grinning.
	+ Sebastian looks enraged.
	+ Glender has a smiling mouth.
	+ Maggie is not holding her magic wands.
	+ Winston’s magical flatulence cloud is missing.
* The only in-game Norpher variation is the one with a crewcut. However, different variations are seen in both traditional and 3D-animated cutscenes.
* The game's initial release used the concept art for the Morphers.
* The mini-map has smoke of certain colors filling areas that the player has not seen, with images related to the scenery overlaid on it (such as the Everglades having lime green smoke with odor lines and rotting corpses/skeletons of animals decorating it).
* Only the Generation 1 villages have a Morpher Wheel mine, while the Generation 2 and 3 villages lack one. As such, the Generation 1 villages are the only ones to have specialized Morpher wheel defense turrets themed around their elements.
	+ Collectible items found in Supply Kits are still found and rewarded in Generation 2 and 3 levels.
* Each ability is unlocked at a specific level and costs a specified amount of Morphers Wheels to unlock. The first ability is unlocked at default and requires no Morpher Wheels, the second at Level 5, and requires 5 Morpher Wheels to use, and the third at Level 10 and requires 10 Morpher Wheels to use. However, the codes in the instruction manuals can automatically unlock the last ability.
* Morphers level up by killing waves of Morphers. Even Morphers who die in combat still earn XP. However, the player can also use Morpher Wheels to automatically upgrade their Morphers to the next level, although more Morpher Wheels are required the higher the level the Morpher is. The levels cap off at 60.
* Even after the game stopped receiving updates, the videos section continued getting updated as it linked to Morphers.com's video page. This function stopped working when Morphers.com was shut down.
* The cutscenes were produced around the timeframe that the series was in production, as demo material for a Norphers cutscene was allegedly produced for the third generation update.
* Strings in the game's code mention Depressed cutscenes for Vanessa, Zoe, Tess, and Vincent, despite the fact they were not included in the game.
