Join the arena #
Open the browser game, choose your name, marker and one of seven Joust classes, then join the arena. Each run has one life. The arena includes other players, player-like bots and creatures; class abilities and positioning affect how a fight unfolds.
The game runs in the browser on desktop and phone. The join screen describes the selected class. Start with a class whose movement and attack pattern are comfortable, and use a fresh run to compare another class.
Use desktop or phone controls #
On desktop, use WASD to move, the mouse or IJKL to aim, and the left mouse button or Space to attack. On a phone, open Options to choose swipe-to-attack or tap-a-target controls. Review the selected controls before joining a busy fight.
The arena view and status indicators show your current health and progression. Use the game’s Options controls when you need to adjust the phone interaction mode.
Collect XP and choose upgrades #
XP comes from public pickups. Collecting drops, including contributor pickup bonuses, advances your run. At an upgrade choice, select from the offered options or use the available Later control. Your chosen upgrades and size growth affect the rest of that life.
You can explicitly sign in with an existing PWND account for private bests and cosmetics. Game records are separate from the public Creator leaderboard. Signing out of the game uses its own session; it does not sign you out of another product.
