Basic controls
Check
In short
Learning all six inputs before your first fight gives you a real edge.
Every action in combat maps to a single key. Getting these into muscle memory is the fastest way to stop losing to players who have been here longer.
- M1 throw a punch
- 1, 2, 3 use your character's three abilities in any order
- Q dash in whichever direction you are holding on WASD
- F block an incoming hit; the very first block you land also stops you from being ragdolled
- E activate your equipped gear, if you have one
- C and V voice taunt and emote wheel, which do not affect combat but are there if you want them
02
Staying alive in a round
TipsIn short
Combining movement, blocking, and cover gives you far more staying power than just swinging punches.
Rounds are short and punishing, so every decision matters. The map is not just decoration — use it.
Tips worth knowing
- Step behind a wall or structure when an opponent is throwing projectiles at you, because cover actually reduces that damage.
- Alternate between dashing away and blocking so opponents cannot settle into a comfortable rhythm against you.
- If you are going for a punch-only kill, landing it earns you the Brutal Beating badge.

Store, spin wheel, and chests
Summary
In short
Each of these three systems hands you a one-time badge the first time you use it, so try all three early.
The game has three separate reward systems outside of combat itself. None of them are required to compete, but each rewards your first use with a badge.
- Store first purchase earns the Skull Spender badge
- Spin wheel first spin earns the Spin Star badge
- Chest first open earns the Treasure Trove badge
05
Round-by-round goals and long-term milestones

Playing on a slow device
WarnIn short
Turning on potato mode is the single best thing you can do if the game feels sluggish.
The game runs on all devices, including older phones and low-end PCs. A couple of adjustments fix most slowdown.
Worth watching out for
Open settings and enable potato mode
it cuts visual effects and makes the game noticeably smoother on weak hardware.
The graphics setting defaults to automatic, which the developers recommend.

Common questions
FAQHow do I pick a character?
A character selection screen appears before the round starts. Each character comes with its own set of abilities.
Do I need to spend real money to be competitive?
The core combat — punching, using abilities, and winning rounds — is fully free to play. The store is not required to participate in matches.
The game is running slowly. What should I do?
Go into settings and switch on potato mode. It reduces particle effects and makes a big difference on older hardware. The graphics option also defaults to automatic, which the developers recommend.
