In order to play Flexible Survival, you must either use the in-built MU* client on the webpage (requires Flash Player) or download one from a wide selection of MU* clients (preferred). The following list takes inspiration from a Wikipedia comparison listing; however, it truncates the list to trusted software and links directly to clients' websites.
For most users, BeipMU is recommended. For Android users, we recommend Mukluk.
