Rules

  • Games start every five minutes. Simply enter the "ACTIVE" gate when you see the message that a new game is starting.
  • You will be divided into red and blue teams automatically once you enter the gate.
  • When the game begins, you're giving a pile of "deadly snow" in your backpack.
  • Double-click the snow and target another team's player to hit them.
  • Snowballs do ~60% HP damage per shot.
  • It's possible to heal during the battle through normal methods.
  • Hiding will slowly eat away your health until you die.
  • Death means you're out of the game. You'll be automatically teleported to safety along with your corpse.
  • The game ends when the timer runs down or one team eliminates all members of the other.
  • Distance will diminish the chance of hitting your target (1 tile away is 99%, 4 tiles is 90%, 6 tiles is 70%, 8 tiles is 30%, and so on).
  • The arena changes its layout for every game, but always has a river and a bridge cutting the play field in half.
  • Each team starts on opposite sides of the river.
