A fast arena shooter with a Translocator, dodge jumps, jump pads and a zero-gravity map. One click and you are in.

01How it plays

Movement is the weapon

Every map rewards the player who moves best. Four tools get you there first.

Dodge

Double-tap a direction to burst sideways, then chain it into a double jump. Rockets miss what they can't predict.

Translocator

Throw the disc, then teleport to it. Cross the map in a blink, or land on an enemy for a telefrag. Carrying the flag? Teleporting drops it.

Jump pads

Step on and get thrown onto the skyways, sniper decks and catwalks. Learn where each one lands.

Zero-G

On Orbital Drift, gravity all but vanishes between the islands. Thrust, drift and line up shots across open space.

02Maps

2 arenas, two ways to fight

Mirrored bases, a flag in each, and a lot of ground between them.

Core Complex arena

Protocol 2027

Core Complex

Industrial Catwalks & Grand Courtyard

Two fortified bases face off across a courtyard of catwalks, skyways and a hanging monolith. Jump pads throw you onto the high routes, and the shield belt waits on the bridge under the spire.

05FAQ

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There is nothing to buy and no ads. Open the page and play.

Do I need an account?

No. You play as a guest straight away. Signing in with Google is optional and only keeps your profile and stats.

A desktop or laptop browser with WebGL 2 (current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari), a mouse and a keyboard.

What are the controls?

WASD to move and the mouse to aim. Space jumps (twice for a double jump), a double-tap of a direction dodges, 1–8 pick a weapon, holding Q opens the weapon wheel, holding V gives your bots orders and F tosses the flag.
