Fieldbolt

How to play

A match has 3 crossings. Each crossing you have 25 seconds to run from one safe zone to the other while red catchers try to freeze you with a touch. A friend can touch you to set you free. Anyone still frozen, or not safe in time, becomes a catcher for the next crossing. Make all 3 crossings to win.

As a catcher, freeze as many runners as you can. If every runner is caught, the catchers win. Points come from gems, crossings, rescues, freezes and winning, and you earn that many coins for the Shop.

On a computer, run with W, A, S, D or the arrow keys, or hold the mouse and drag. Press Space to dash and E, Q or Shift to use your gadget. On a phone, slide your finger to run, tap DASH or tap with a second finger, and tap the gadget button.

Tips and tricks

• Dash needs a short rest before you can use it again, so save it for when a catcher gets close.
• Your gadget works once per crossing. Drop the Banana Peel in front of a chasing catcher so they slip.
• Set frozen friends free when you can. Each rescue is worth points, and a freed runner gets a moment of safety.
• Grab gems on your way if they are close, but watch the clock. Being too slow makes you a catcher too.
• Spend coins on new gadgets: the Pop-up Wall pops up behind you for 5 seconds, the Air Horn pushes nearby players on the other side away, and Zoom Juice makes you run extra fast for 4 seconds.
• Check Today's goals. Each one finished gives coins, and finishing all 3 gives extra.

What makes it fun

Fieldbolt is playground tag in 3D. Every crossing is a short, tense run, and getting caught doesn't end your match. You switch sides and chase the players who were just running with you.
