More about this game
Your goal is to fill your rocket to 100 points before the opposing team of three rival robots does. You run around the arena, automatically picking up fuel cans and depositing them at your home pad. Larger fuel cans give more points but drastically slow your movement speed. You can bump into rivals to make them drop their fuel, and they can do the exact same to you. The match ends when a team reaches the goal or the 90-second timer runs out.
Tips
- Large fuel cans are worth 35 points but slow you down by 35 percent, making you an easy target for rivals.
- Grab the glowing shield power-up to protect yourself from being bumped, preventing you from losing your fuel to the opposing team.
- If you bump a rival while moving at a high speed, they will drop their fuel and get stunned for 0.4 seconds.
Questions
How do I win the match?
You win by filling your rocket to the fuel goal of 100 points before the rival team, or by having more fuel deposited when the 90-second match timer finally reaches zero.
What do the different power-ups do?
The speed boots give you a five-second movement speed boost, and the shield protects you from dropping your fuel if an enemy robot bumps into you while you are carrying a can.
Why is my robot moving so slowly?
Carrying fuel slows down your movement speed. Small fuel slows you by 10 percent, medium by 20 percent, and large fuel slows you by a massive 35 percent until you drop it.
