MMO isn't only two player. one of the "M"s means massive.

If you want two (or more) players, I know this can be done with native code, so your best shot would be plugins.

With Unity, you can probably find plugins to use bluetooth, but it's not a built-in Unity feature. I know you can add an android plugin easily, even with unity free. For iOS, you can use http://u3d.as/content/prime31/i-os-game-kit-local-multiplayer/2CX

If you want crossplatform gaming, I never tried, but it should be possible. Though you can't use gamekit on iOS since it's for iOS only.

I know the full Form of $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$O is $$anonymous$$assive $$anonymous$$ultiplayer Online......But i Don't Want to use Prime31's package due to i am a indie and i am doing this for learning purpose so can't afford....Here mentioned Two player was just To explain the point. it Could be a Number of players in online server mode but i think bluetooth will not work fine with OBEX transfer request from more devices simultaneously......Sorry For the Bad English......

No problem, english isn't my native language either.

Two years ago, I did a 3-players Android game using Android SD$$anonymous$$. It didn't work, but it wasn't bluetooth's fault. Also, i don't know what is the maximum player number supported by bluetooth, it probably depends on the device's power. Sooo I guess you'll have to do the plugin yourself. For iOS I have absolutely no idea if it's possible or easy. For Android, check http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/126241-How-to-use-a-self-plugin-in-unity-project and http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth.html

The Android Developer page looks kinda scary, but trust me, it isn't that hard.

For iOS, I guess somebody with more knowledge than me will be able to answer.
