How a round works
Step
When the round begins, you spawn on a course packed with mines. Your only goal is to reach the far end. Being caught in an explosion knocks you back or upward but does not eliminate you, so you can keep pushing forward no matter how many times you get hit.
- Watch the blasts observe where mines go off before you commit to a path through a dangerous stretch.
- Reach the end cross the final point of the course to win and earn the Win badge.

Using explosions to move faster
TipsThe shockwave from a mine pushes nearby players upward and outward. Chaining several blasts in a row also works toward the bomb-activation badges.
- Jump just as a mine goes off beneath or beside you to get extra height from the shockwave.
- String multiple explosions together to cross a long gap in one fluid motion.
Playing with and against other people
TipsThe game actively encourages players to troll each other. You can nudge someone toward a mine or time an explosion to catch a rival off guard.
- Body-check other players toward mine clusters to send them flying.
- Keep an eye behind you — other players will try the same tricks on you.
Getting unstuck on a tough section
CheckWhen one part of the course keeps knocking you back, study the mine timing, then move with a plan.
- Count the gap between explosions on the mine that is stopping you there is a safe window to cross.
- Remember that getting blown up keeps you in the game, so use failed attempts to map the hazards rather than treating them as pure loss.

Common questions
FAQDoes landing on a mine kill you?
No. Explosions knock you back or into the air, but you stay in the round and can keep moving. The only way to finish is to reach the far end of the course.
How do I earn the Canon Ball badge?
The badge is tied to a luck-based element in the game, so just interact with the cannonball when you see it and let chance do the rest.
