GAME MECHANICS

⬆️ Altitude Advantage

Being higher than your opponent (100+ pixels) gives you better shot accuracy and knocks them down during collisions.

🏃 NPC Characters

Ground lacrosse players patrol platforms and can catch and redirect balls. Watch out - they add unpredictability!

⚡ Cooldowns

Wing flapping has a 0.3s cooldown, ball throwing has a 2s cooldown. Time your actions wisely!

🔥 Lava Zones

Avoid the lava on both sides! Touching it causes instant death and a 2-second respawn penalty.

GAMEPLAY TIPS

  • The ball always throws in the direction you're facing (last moved direction)
  • Gain altitude for better shot accuracy and positioning advantage
  • Use platforms strategically to control your movement and height
  • Time your flaps carefully - you can't spam them!
  • Watch the ball trajectory - it bounces off platforms
  • Higher position during player collision knocks opponent downward
  • NPCs can intercept your shots - plan your throws accordingly
  • Avoid the lava zones on the left and right sides of the arena
  • P1 (Blue Unicorn) defends the BLUE goal on the left - score in the GREEN goal on the right!
  • P2 (Green Dragon) defends the GREEN goal on the right - score in the BLUE goal on the left!

SCORING

Each successful goal scores 1 point. First player to reach the target score (5, 10, or 15 - set in Settings) wins the match!
