How it works
Hit Play and you get a fresh island and a link. Post the link on X — everyone who opens it drops into the same match. Up to 20 bots fill the lobby, so there is always someone to fight.
- Drop — ride the helicopter over the island, jump in the jump zone, free-fall, then pop your parachute.
- Loot — chests in houses and in the wild: weapons of five rarities, ammo, shields, medkits.
- Build — harvest wood, brick and metal with the pickaxe, throw up walls, floors and ramps.
- Survive — the storm closes in. Last one standing takes the Victory Royale.
Features
Gameplay
- Procedural island per match: six towns with multi-storey houses, roads, forests, beaches, cars and fuel barrels that explode when shot (barrels chain-react), trees that fall when cut.
- Rounds by day, morning, sunset, night (stars, moonlight) or in the rain with thunderstorms.
- Helicopter drop with a jump zone, free-fall and parachute; redeploy the chute when falling from a height.
- Weapons: pistol, SMG, assault rifle, shotgun, sniper, bazooka — five rarities, recoil, spread, reloads.
- Building: walls, floors, ramps in three materials; everything is destructible.
- Crouch, prone, sprint, slide, aim down sights; mushroom launch pads throw you 17 m up.
- The Roadster: three white electric hypercars per round (follow the cyan beams) — 0–100 km/h in under a second with launch mode, thruster jumps and kickflips, ram players and bots, drives on water — and press F: the wheels fold into jets and it flies (climb, dive, afterburner, barrel rolls).
- Storm with phases that shrink to a final circle — a siren warns 10 s before each shrink, and the final circle moves.
- Three supply drops per round (epic+ loot on a parachute, follow the purple beam) and a Pump zone with +30% damage.
- Big glowing damage numbers, headshots, kill confetti with PR coins, multi-kill streaks, slow-mo on the last kill, killcam, spectator camera and a victory orbit with confetti.
- Minimap and full island map (M) with the storm, next safe zone and the chopper route.
- Up to 20 bots that loot, build-break, strafe, flank and parachute to their own landing spots.
- Full sound: a distinct shot per gun with distance falloff and echo, reload and bolt/pump mechanics, footsteps by surface, wind and parachute, medkits, loot, hits and kills, plus lobby music. All synthesized in the browser, no audio files.
Modes
- Casual — a fresh match the moment you hit Play; friends join from your link.
- Ranked — one shared island per day, earn RP. Unlocked with one post on X.
- 1v1 duel — ticker vs ticker. Enter two coins (
$BONK vs $WIF), send the challenge link, fight for your ticker.
Progression
- Abilities (Valorant-style): dash, moon jump, shield, smoke, recon, grenade and an FPV kamikaze drone.
- Gunsmith: optics (red dot, holo, ACOG 3x), double mags, grips, fast reloads — visible on the gun.
- Cases: weapon skins from 77 finish × weapon combos, CS-style roll, inventory.
- Skins: 16 character skins.
- Season levels, coins and RP. RP and coins have no cash value yet — the $PR token launch is in the works.

Tech
- Rendering: three.js r170 — toon shading with outlines, instanced foliage and wind, shader water, bloom, colour grading, FXAA.
- Multiplayer: Trystero — WebRTC peer-to-peer, matchmaking over public Nostr relays. Matches are keyed by the link, rounds by the clock, so there is no game server.
- Code: plain ES modules, no bundler and no build step. Open
index.html through any static server.
