How a round works
Summary
Each match puts two players against each other on their own Block Towers. You shoot at the enemy tower to break it apart, block by block, while the opponent does the same to yours. When a tower is completely destroyed, that player loses. Partial damage does not end the round, but it shrinks the space you can stand on.
- Goal destroy the enemy's Block Tower before yours falls
- Win condition be the last tower standing
- Partial damage you can keep playing even if some blocks are gone
- Skins gun and tower appearances can be unlocked with Chips
- Friends you can create a room and invite friends to play against you

| Emote | L1 | Tap UI button | B |
Jump timing and fall prevention
CheckThe game specifically asks you to time your jumps so you do not fall or slip off the tower. This matters more as your tower takes damage and the surface you stand on gets smaller.
- Check that your jump timing feels comfortable before committing to a fight
- When the tower is heavily damaged, move toward the larger remaining sections
- If you keep falling off, slow down your jumps and watch where the edge is
Shooting tactics that work
Tips
Concentrating fire on one section breaks it faster. At the same time, you need to keep moving so the opponent cannot zero in on you.
- Pick one section of the enemy tower and keep shooting it rather than switching targets
- Lead your shots slightly ahead of a moving opponent instead of aiming at where they are right now
- Reposition when you notice the enemy focusing shots on the same spot repeatedly
- When your own tower shrinks, shift to a spot where more blocks are still intact
Earning and spending Chips
Step
Chips are the in-game currency you use to unlock gun skins and tower skins. No skin changes how your shots perform — they only change the look.
- Win rounds Chips are earned by winning matches
- Buy what you like pick a design that appeals to you; performance is identical across all skins
- Track Collector badges owning 10, 30, 60, or all gun skins each earn you a badge
Progress badges worth chasing
Table
The game has twenty badges that track rounds played, eliminations, wins, and gun skins owned. The kill and win ladders each run from beginner to extreme, so there is always a next target no matter where you are.
| Rounds played | badges at 10, 50, 100, and 500 rounds |
| Eliminations | badges at 10, 50, 200, and 1000 kills |
| Wins | badges at 5, 25, 100, and 500 victories |
| Skins collected | badges at 10, 30, 60, and owning every gun skin |
Playing with friends
TipsBecause each match is a direct one-on-one, the rules take about one round to understand. Creating a room and inviting a friend lets you run back-to-back matches. The emote system also gives you a way to react between rounds.
- Create a room and invite your friend directly
- Use emotes between rounds to keep the session fun

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend real money to unlock skins?
No. Chips are earned by winning rounds, and all skins are purchased with Chips.
What happens when part of my tower is destroyed?
You keep playing as long as any part of your tower remains. However, losing blocks reduces the space you can stand on, so your movement becomes more restricted and falling becomes a bigger risk.
How do I improve if I keep losing?
Focus your shots on one section of the enemy tower instead of shooting randomly, and work on your jump timing so you do not fall off.
How do I play against a specific friend?
Create a room and invite your friend directly. Once they join, you can play as many back-to-back matches as you like.
