Game modes

• FFA, a free-for-all: every other robot is a target.
• 2 Teams, red against blue: your own side cannot be shot.

Each mode is played on one of several maps, which is shown on the splash screen.

Weapons

Each time you spawn, you can choose one of these weapons:

• Photon, a rapid-fire laser pistol.
• Prism, a close-range laser shotgun.
• Beam, a laser sniper that kills in a single shot.
• Flicker, a burst rifle that spreads the damage of Beam over five automatic shots.
• Arc, a rifle that bends light towards your target.

Aiming makes your shots more accurate and gives the Prism a little more range, but it slows you to a walk and you can’t sprint while aiming. Heavier weapons also slow you down slightly. See the Wiki for each weapon’s damage, reload time, range and spread.

Equipment

Every robot carries the same three pieces of equipment, no matter which weapon it chose:

• A Flash grenade (Q), thrown in the direction you’re aiming. It bounces and then explodes, damaging and blinding anyone with a clear line of sight to the blast. Walls and force fields block it, and it can’t hurt you or your teammates.
• A Force-field (E), a flat panel that appears just in front of you. It blocks lasers and blasts, including your own shots, but players and grenades in flight pass right through it. To remove a force field, aim at it from close range and press E again.
• A Jump pad (R), placed on a roughly level surface near where you’re looking. It launches whoever stands on it much higher than a normal jump, then takes a few seconds to recharge. Enemies can use it too.

Each piece of equipment has its own reload time. See the Wiki for exact sizes, ranges, lifetimes and reload times.

Crowns

There are four crowns somewhere in the maze that you can find and pick up:

• Speed, which increases your movement speed
• Jump, which increases your jump height
• Health, which halves the damage done to you
• X-ray, which lets you see players through walls

A crown lasts ten minutes or until you die. During its last two minutes, a countdown appears next to its name at the top of the screen.

Only one of each crown exists at a time. When nobody alive is wearing a crown, a new one appears somewhere in the maze.

How to Win

You score a point for each enemy you defeat. Use cover to avoid getting hit.
