How to Play

• Match Setup: Choose a mode and join a team.
• Gameplay Loop: Drive your car to hit the ball toward the enemy goal while defending your own. Matches start with a kickoff where teams rush for the ball.
• Scoring: A goal is scored when the ball fully crosses the goal line. Each goal equals 1 point.
• Boost Management: To maintain speed and perform aerials, collect small boost pads (10 units) or full boost canisters (100 units) scattered across the field.
• Time Limit: Matches last 5 minutes. If tied, overtime begins in a sudden-death format (first goal wins).
• Winning: The team with the most points at the end wins. In ranked mode, victories improve your rank.

Movement and Controls

Controls vary slightly by platform but follow a standard layout (customizable in-game). Here’s a typical setup for a controller:

• Left Stick: Steer the car.
• Right Stick: Adjust camera
• Accelerate: R2/RT – Move forward.
• Reverse: L2/LT – Move backward.
• Boost: Circle/B – Use collected boost for speed or flight (hold to sustain).
• Jump: X/A – Leap off the ground; double-tap for a double jump.
• Powerslide: Square/X – Drift for sharp turns.
• Air Roll/Pitch: L1/LB or joystick – Rotate car mid-air for aerial control.
• Ball Cam Toggle: Triangle/Y – Switch between ball-tracking and free camera.

Key Movement Tips:

• Hold boost while jumping to fly.
• Tilt the car mid-air to adjust trajectory.
• Use powerslide for quick repositioning.
