How a match works
Step
In short
Every match is a battle royale where one hit ends your run.
When a match begins, every player is dropped into the same arena. Balls fly in from the center and edges of the arena continuously, and a single hit means you are out for that round. As players get eliminated, the arena shrinks, forcing everyone closer together. The last player left standing wins.
- Join a match press the match button from the lobby to enter the arena with other players.
- Watch for incoming balls balls come from multiple directions at once, so keep your eyes moving across the whole arena.
- Move early start dodging before a ball reaches you, not after; predicting the path gives you more time to react.
- Track the shrinking boundary as the arena tightens, find a safer position rather than staying put.
- Outlast everyone the match ends the moment only one player remains unhit.

Movement and dodge upgrades
TableIn short
Both upgrade types help you survive, and keeping them roughly balanced is more reliable than maxing one alone.
After each match you can put points into two upgrade categories: movement speed and dodge ability. Higher movement speed makes it easier to put distance between yourself and a ball. Higher dodge ability lets you evade more efficiently with the same movement inputs.
| Movement speed | increases how fast you run, giving you more room to escape incoming balls. |
| Dodge ability | improves how cleanly you sidestep or jump around ball paths. |
| Balanced split | distributing points across both gives the most consistent results match to match. |
| Post-match flexibility | you can adjust your upgrade choices after every match, so shift the balance based on how the previous round felt. |

Crates and tools
CheckIn short
Crates give you a real edge, but only if you reach them before other players do.
During a match, crates appear at specific spots inside the arena. Opening one gives you a tool that can help you fight back or survive longer. If you open a crate and the tool inside is one you already own, it upgrades that tool instead of giving you a duplicate. Because other players are chasing the same crates, speed and awareness matter as much as dodging.
- Scan the arena early in each round and note where crates have appeared.
- Open the crate immediately on arrival hesitating lets another player grab it first.
- If you already own the tool inside, the crate still benefits you by upgrading it.

Staying alive longer — positioning habits
Tips
In short
Good positioning and a calm head matter more than reaction speed alone.
Most early eliminations come from poor positioning rather than slow reflexes. Crowded areas concentrate ball trajectories, so staying near clusters of players increases the chance that a ball meant for someone else catches you too. Keeping your view wide and your movements deliberate rather than panicked makes a measurable difference.
Tips worth knowing
- Keep distance from other players so you are not caught by balls aimed at them.
- Watch the full arena, not just the nearest ball, so nothing arrives from a blind spot.
- Move before you need to rather than reacting at the last second.

- Tool

Common questions
FAQDoes one hit really end my whole match?
Yes — any contact with a ball eliminates you from that round immediately. There are no second chances within a match.
Can I change my upgrades after a bad round?
Yes, you can redistribute your upgrade choices after every match. If you feel your dodge ability is lacking or your speed is too low, adjust the split before the next round starts.
What happens if I open a crate for a tool I already have?
Instead of receiving a duplicate, the tool you already own gets upgraded. It is worth going for those crates even when there is a chance you already carry that particular tool.
Can friends and I play in the same match?
You can all join the same match, but the game is a battle royale, so every player is a rival. Only one person wins each round, regardless of who you joined with.
