How it works

Modular rules

Rules are nodes that can be combined. Swap a node and the round behaviour changes immediately.

Creator friendly

Build modes with prefabs, test live, and export shareable packs for the community.

Spectate & host

Host brackets, drop overlays into streams, and let friends tune parameters mid-match.

Voices from the lab

"A fresh engine for small moments. Matches feel immediate and surprisingly cinematic. The editor made a weekend jam feel like a live festival."

— Luna, community host

FAQ

Is this crossplay?

Yes. Netcode is designed for low-latency inputs and adaptive tick rates to suit phones and desktops.
