How a match goes

  1. Draft

    You and your rival take turns picking 10 shells each from 57. Take the big ones, or take the ones your rival wanted.

  2. Aim

    Set the angle and power, and check the wind. Drive or jump to a better spot: you have 5 moves for the whole match.

  3. Fire

    Every hit scores points. Fly a shell through a ×2 or ×3 portal to multiply them, and chain shells into combos.

  4. Win

    After 10 rounds, the higher score wins.

57 shells in six families

Blasts
Big single hits, up to the Nuke.
Spread
Many smaller hits over an area: clusters, fans and fireworks.
Rollers and bouncers
Shells that travel along the ground before they go off.
Elements
Fire, ice, water and weather. Mix them for combos, like a flood that freezes.
Tricks and traps
Mines, magnets, time bombs and poison clouds that control the fight.
Sci-fi and support
Beams, black holes, shields and an orbital strike.
