Gameplay Phases

(The current phase can always be found above the minimap, along with the time remaining)

  • Explore: Wander the overworld, defeat enemies, and collect items until the timer runs out. You will not be allowed to enter any dungeons you find during this phase. Items other players find will be revealed on your minimap!

  • Find the dungeon: Once the explore phase ends, you'll see a warning and a new timer. Get inside the specified dungeon before the timer runs out, or you'll be knocked out!


(The dungeon is marked as '1' here)

  • Defeat the boss: Once players who failed the make it into the dungeon are eliminated, the remaining players will need to defeat that dungeon's boss before the new timer expires. Good luck! If you survive, the explore phase will begin again.

Tips

  • Killing enemies will send copies of them over to the player you're targeting. Players can do this to you as well, so keep an eye on your attack queue so you can prepare for what's coming next!


  • Change which player you're targeting with Q/E. You can see which player you're targeting by checking the "sword" icon on their window. Players targeting you will have a red border around their camera. Multiple players can (and will) target you at once!



(Note the red sword, you're targeting 'Mr. E' here)


('Error' has targeted you!)

  • The power glove can be used to move suspicious heavy blocks. Rumor has it that it's in the first dungeon...

Other

  • Quick Join will attempt to join any game looking for players that hasn't started yet. If no games exist, it will create one with 4 player slots by default. 
  • Create Game will let you create a game with a specific player count, up to 21!
  • Create Private Game will create a game with a specific player count as well, but will not be joinable via Quick Join
  • If you want friends to join your game, ask them to use the "Join Game" option, and share the game id with them!

Special Thanks
