Core rules of every match
Summary
Each match is a straight 1v1. You score a point by jumping into your opponent's goal, and the first player to reach 5 points wins. Your slapper is your main tool for creating that opportunity — hitting your opponent knocks them out of the way temporarily, giving you a window to make your run. Rounds are short, so you can jump straight back in after a loss.
- Slap knocks your opponent away and creates a scoring window
- Jump into the goal awards 1 point when you reach it
- Dodge lets you avoid an incoming slap and keep moving
- Powerups appear around the map and boost your abilities for a limited time
- Win condition 5 points before your opponent does

Reading your opponent mid-match
Tips
Your opponent is also trying to slap, dodge, and score, which means their movements telegraph what they plan to do next. If you can predict a slap coming, a well-timed dodge puts you ahead of them rather than behind. Mixing up your own routes makes it harder for them to do the same to you.
- Watch for your opponent winding up a slap, then dodge early rather than late
- After landing a slap, move immediately toward the goal before your opponent recovers
- Vary the path you take to the goal so your opponent cannot cut you off consistently
- Grab powerups quickly when they appear, but do not over-commit if your opponent is closer
- When you are behind on points, stay patient and focus on one point at a time rather than rushing
Slappers and powerups
Table
The game includes multiple slappers to unlock, and each one has its own characteristics. Powerups are separate from your slapper — they appear on the map during a match and give you a temporary boost when you pick them up. Basic slappers are available without spending anything, and additional ones can be unlocked through normal play.
| Starter slapper | available to everyone from the beginning |
| Additional slappers | unlocked over time and carry different characteristics |
| Powerups | map-spawned items that boost your abilities for a short window |
| Cost to start | none required; you can compete fully from the first session |
