Gameplay

Goal

We are playing "Deathmatch" so the first person to score a certain number of points wins.

Walking

• use "w", "a" and "d" to jump and move

Grabbing and Throwing

• use the left mouse button to grab things
• use it again to drop the thing you have in your hands
• or drag the mouse to the direction you want to throw it (it will draw some help lines for you) and after releasing the button the item will be thrown
• longer lines apply more force while throwing
• draw curves or loops to spin the item in the air

Look around

• pressing and holding the Shift and moving the mouse lets you see further

Other

• if something hangs, reload the website
• you can leave the fullscreen by pressing ESC
