Opens in a new tab. Arcadle checked the source on desktop; mobile play is listed separately when verified.

How to get started

  1. Open the project website and enter a player nickname.

  3. Click the game to focus it. Use W A S D to move and the left mouse button to fire. If killed, use the source respawn flow.

If loading stops

  • Give the initial resource download time to finish before reloading.
  • If movement does not respond, click inside the game to focus it. Use Esc to release the pointer in first-person games.
  • Try an up-to-date desktop browser and check the source for an error. A reachable launch page does not guarantee its multiplayer server is available.

Before you start

Resources
The browser downloads engine and map resources on first launch. Wait for the source loader; download size and server availability can change.
Account
The tested launch required a player nickname, not an account sign-in. Server rules may change.
Storage and saves
The source loads or caches game resources in the browser. Persistent scores, settings and saved games were not tested; do not assume progress transfers between sources or browsers.
