The rules
- The team with 10 or more balls, and more than the other side, starts a 15-second countdown. Lose the lead and it stops.
- Balls drop out of anyone who is knocked out, so the fight in the middle is the game.
- You respawn after 4 seconds with 1.5 seconds of shield.
Every mode: 1.5 s of shield after you respawn, health starts regenerating 3 s after your last hit taken, and you can carry up to 3 shots in your clip.
4 maps
A random map is picked for each match. Red team starts at the top, blue at the bottom, and the map is the same mirrored shape for both.
- Tree (blocks movement and shots; some supers break it)
- Rock (blocks; broken by some supers)
- Tall grass (hides you)
- Water (blocks walking, not shots)
- Fence (blocks walking, shoot over it)
- Barrel (like a rock)
