Adjust Game Settings for Your Playstyle

Accessing Customization Options

Before starting a match, the map offers customizable settings that fundamentally change how the game plays. These aren't cosmetic—they directly impact difficulty, pacing, and strategy.

Key Settings to Configure

1. Lives/Health system: Adjust how many deaths players can survive before elimination. Lower lives = faster, more intense matches; higher lives = longer strategic gameplay

2. Swap timer: Modify the 45-second interval to speed up or slow down the pace. Shorter timers reward quick thinking; longer timers allow more trap building

3. Item selection frequency: Control how often overpowered items appear and how many choices players get

4. Arena size: Larger maps favor trap variety and escape routes; smaller maps create constant confrontation

5. Trap damage scaling: Adjust how lethal traps are—useful for balancing beginner vs. experienced players

Recommended Configurations

For beginners: Longer swap timers, more lives, larger arena

For veterans: Shorter timers, fewer lives, smaller arena with denser traps

For chaos: Rapid swaps, limited lives, overpowered item spam

Testing Settings

Run a practice round with your chosen settings before inviting others. Settings that seem balanced in theory often play very differently in action.
