The game is axed on two teams, each team trying to score goals. Every player that scores a goal gets a seed. The seed can be planted on different platforms, expanding the locations for the seed placement. If the time runs out, the team with the most goals wins, but if a team puts a seed near the enemy's goal, that team wins. If that happens, no time is important and no goals, it instantly wins.

The Controls are the most crucial part of the game to learn, they aren't hard and FPS veterans will get used to them very quick.

Movement : W,A,S,D, Spacebar (usual FPS keys)

Ball/Gun/Melee/Pickups : Left click : Shoot, Throw Ball
Q - Change weapon type
Right click - Melee Attack/Intercept Ball
F - Push players away (if they are in the air, they will be going straight down)/Mech-Glove
E - Use pickup

Talk : C - Activate/Deactivate Chat
Enter - Open the chat window (messages appear even if it is not opened)
These are the default controls, make sure you know them well before trying to play. Alternatively, you can look in the controls section, in-game.

The Ball is, obviously, the thing you use to score a goal. Only one player can have the ball. He can do everything to try and score : pass it to other players, throw it away or just run with it. When you have the ball, you can't shoot, which is a disadvantage. If the adversary has the ball and you stand close to him, doing a melee attack on him (default : right click) will get the ball from his hands, put it in yours and also push him away. If the player with the ball falls down the arena or throws it out the arena, the ball respawns. The ball is located at an equal distance from both teams.

In Multiplayer, all players are equal, the only thing they can modify being loadouts (see the next section in the guide) and skins (see the "Missions" section). Multiplayer is recommended to start with, as the Singleplayer doesn't have the ability to complete missions and teach you, the player, how to really play. Also, the players are very competitive, and are going to be mad at you if you don't know what to do with the ball and randomly throw it away. Also, you should know how to rocket jump (like in "Team Fortress") : charge your jump at maximum (press and hold spacebar; considering you have the option checked in "Loadouts"), shoot at the ground, as you are moving forward and jump at the same time.

In this game, player Loadouts are very important, as they change from player to player. It took me, personally, an hour to make it suited for my playstyle. Going to the main menu and clicking on "Loadouts" will bring a window where you can modify 3 loadouts. You can choose the loadout you want before the game starts (before everyone presses F1, to get ready), in the window, you can choose the seed types that you can plant (you get a seed after you score, and you press 1, 2 and 3, in order to select a seed), the gun type, the jump method (instant and charge, I recommend charge though) and the precise gun mode (pull or push), what it does it obvious: shooting players makes them go closer to you or it pushes them away from you.

In the main menu, you may have observed something named "Missions". Those are some objectives that the player may or may not want to complete, it has no bad consequences if you don't want to do them. Completing objectives gives you points, which can be used to buy skins for your player or your seeds (you can't buy any weapons, as all players are equal). The objectives update every 24 hours (write a comment if I am wrong and I'll correct it ;) ).

The Seeds are the most important aspect of the game and what makes it so interesting. By going into "Loadouts", you can modify what they do and what buffs they give the players that are close to them. You can choose between 3 seeds, existent in your loadout, after you score a goal. You can press 1, 2 and 3, in order to choose one of the seeds and stay on a platform where the seed can be planted (it has a text saying it is possible to plant it there over it) in over to plant it (it is automatically planted, so be careful you plant it where you want to, I can't even say how many times I didn't plant it where I actually wanted to xD ). An adversary, or you, can't take someone's seed with right click, the only way to make him lose the seed is by killing that player. Also, you can't shoot with the seed (same thing with the ball).





(a player with a seed, notice on the left side how he can choose the seed type. There are also the buffs: the first seed gives speed, the second make the players shoot faster and the last one makes the players jump higher, also, he can plant it on the adversary's goal, by doing so, he will win the game)

The Mech-Glove is something I discovered after 3 hours of gameplay, after I read the in-game tutorial once again... The Mech-Glove has different uses : it may be used to activate your plant's power, or buff, or crush other people's seeds. When doing that, some red dots appear on your screen. Depending on which action you do, they might appear or dissapear. It can also be used to pull the ball closer to you, but remember it has short range.

Every map has specific and different Locations that your team can use to its advantage.
One of the most usual location is the jump-pod. By moving your character on it, or jumping on it, it will launch you in the air. You can jump on it as many times as you'd like to and, if that's what you want, reamain in the air, getting an achivement.

Another location is the tornado-pod : by staying on it, a tornado will appear on the platform where the ball spawns, it doesn't affect players, but they can't see through.

Every map has pickups, which can be used as an advantage over the enemy team. If a player enters a pickup, they will be granted that pickup, which can be used with E. The pickup is respawned after some time.

Pickups:

• Shockwave : when used, this pickup will push all players and the ball away from you (considering the ball is not in your hand);
  
• Grappling Hook : when used, it will make a long string of green energy, which will push you to the location you used it on;
  
• Dash : when used, the pickup will push you to where you had your crosshair when pressing E.

This is the most important part of the game, actually : to like the game. It doesn''t have many servers, which is too bad. Also, it doesn't have the option for you to host, as long as I know, so you might find yourself playing on servers with more than 200 ping. Anyway, the game is fun and you can also learn it by just playing it, or reading the in-game tutorial (which is not as detailed as mine), like we all learned the game, before it was free for everyone. Now, I hope more people will know how to play and less people will say in the chat "HOW DO I PLAY THIS THING". Thanks for reading it and rate, please!
