Powerups

Permanent Powerups

These powerups give you a permanent boost!

  • Speed++: This increases your movement speed.
  • Range++: This increases how far your lazer travels.
  • Reflect++: This increases the number of times your lazer reflects on mirrors.
  • Drone++: This increases the number of drones you can place at one time, allowing you to fire multiple lazers.

Temporary Powerups

These powerups expire after a short time period. But until then, they’ll protect you for one hit! You can only have one at once. If you pick up a new temporary powerup while the previous one is active, your previous one gets overridden.

  • TempArmor: This acts like a wall, protecting you from the next hit.
  • GlassArmor: This turns you into glass, making the next hit pass through you.
  • MirroredArmor: This turns you into a mirror, making the next hit reflect off you.

Instant Powerups

These powerups have an instant effect on the field.

  • Explod-o-mat: This summons an explosive barrel onto a random position on the field. Beware of its explosion!

Environment Objects

These are objects on the field that the players can interact with.

  • Destruction Barrels: There are 4 of these around the map. Destroying it will cause the adjacent blocks surrounding the barrel to fall off the map.
  • Point Becons: This object spawns a point orb occasionally that can be picked up by the player. Picking up the orb gives the player bonus points, so collect this to get a high score!
