How to Play

Runners try to survive until the timer runs out. Taggers hunt them down and freeze them by hitting them. Frozen runners are completely stuck — they cannot move or jump — until a teammate rescues them by hitting them.

- stronger in numbers by freezing every runner before time runs out - stronger in numbers by keeping at least one runner alive until time expires - Taggers are stronger in numbers — coordinate to corner runners

Classes

Every class gives passive stats and two abilities — one for runners, one for taggers. Pick your class in the lobby before the game starts.

| Class | Passive | Runner Ability | Tagger Ability | |---|---|---|---| | Tactician | None | — | — | | Tactician | Speed I | Sprint Burst — Speed III for 5s | Hunter's Snare — Slowness III AoE | | Tactician | Jump Boost I | High Jump — Jump V for 4s | Freeze Wave — AoE freeze | | Tactician | Speed + Slow Falling | Dash — Launch forward | Shadow Cloak — Invisibility | | Tactician | Slightly slower | Group Rescue — AoE unfreeze | Slow Field — Slowness II AoE |

Classes are fully YAML configurable — create unlimited custom classes with your own abilities, items, and stats.
