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

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