D↗DAEDALUS WORKSTHE ARCADE COLLECTION

8 NEIGHBORS. ENDLESS RIVALRIES.

CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER

Your look. Your loadout. Your backyard.

Casey is ready.

YOUR GAME. YOUR GRIP.

MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE

Same arena view. Controls that fit your hands.

One view. Every screen.

Your character sees the same-sized area on phone, tablet and desktop. Wider screens do not reveal more opponents. Edge chevrons warn of incoming shots—not hidden enemies.

THUMB CONTROLS

Hold the aim stick to fire. Its center keeps your last aim direction. Try your adjustments in the weapon range.

A larger deadzone ignores small thumb movements. Small screens automatically keep the controls within reach and clear of the arena.

KEYBOARD & MOUSE

Click a key, then press its replacement. Mouse aim and left-click fire stay the same.

Arrow keys remain movement shortcuts unless reassigned. Escape pauses the match or closes a menu. Shift is an extra Dodge shortcut unless reassigned.

Keep the important bits.

Reduced effects removes camera shake and extra particles without hiding shots, charge warnings or hit information. Change it in Display & performance.

Casey

All eight looks are available. Select your combat loadout separately. Health and hitbox stay equal; weapons and movement differ.

SMOOTH PLAY

Your comfort zone.

Only image detail changes. Cover, bullets, health and game speed stay the same.

Measured after the game has rendered several frames.

FPS measures delivered animation frames, not the 60-tick simulation. It varies by device, battery settings and browser.

YOUR NEXT ROUND

Pick your playground.

Outplay your rivals. First to 10 eliminations wins.

Fast respawns in both formats. Pick a rival’s kit to practice a matchup.

THE GARDEN RULES

Cover. Aim.
Cause a little chaos.

Run around the garden, aim your sidearm, and outsmart the other players. You have 100 health. Two sidearm or disc hits, one charged cannon hit, a full close scattergun spread, or five close blaster hits can take you out. In versus, you return after a short breather.

On touchscreens, drag the left stick to move. Hold anywhere on the right stick to fire; drag to aim. With the sidearm or blaster, you can also tap the arena to aim and shoot. For the cannon, hold the right stick. The roll button dodges incoming shots. A connected gamepad uses both sticks, the right trigger, and A to roll. Landscape shows more of the arena.

Tap the ammunition counter, or press R, to reload early. Empty guns reload automatically. Hold to charge the cannon; releasing or dodging cancels the charge. Dodge never resets weapon recovery.

Little upgrades. Big advantages.

Make the map work for you.

Stone, hedges, machinery, barrels, stalls and planters are solid cover. Wooden crates break after three ordinary hits or one charged shell. Classic sidearms bounce once and discs twice. Bank-shot Party gives both three bounces. Crates absorb shots instead of reflecting them; the dotted guide follows the same cover rules as the real projectile. Rolling dodges shots, but does not pass through walls. Freshly spawned players have brief protection that ends when they fire or begin charging. Protected players cannot collect pickups.

Weapon upgrades replace your current weapon upgrade. Shield and Sprint occupy a separate utility slot; First aid restores 35 health immediately. In co-op, everyone fights on the same side. Survive five waves of bandits, faster scouts, bank-shot shooters, rapid-fire guards and slower armored enemies; downed teammates return when a wave clears. No friendly fire. Private rooms support up to four friends.

No accounts, chat, advertising, or trackers. Preferences are saved in this browser. In a private room, your nickname and gameplay are shared with the room’s players and server. Room data is temporary; a room code is an invitation, not a password.

Your feedback stays on this device until you choose to share it.

Not measured
First time here? A quick way to playtest.

Start in Weapon range. Move with the left stick or WASD; aim and fire with the right stick or mouse. Dodge with the Dodge button or Space. Tap Reload or press R.

Try Duelist, then Heavy or Breacher. Play a bot duel and a full skirmish on two different arenas. Notice whether you understand each death and whether you want a rematch.

On phones, try landscape for larger characters. Controls & aiming lets you swap hands, resize the sticks, and adjust their position. Auto graphics can reduce detail to keep combat responsive.

The report includes the build, browser family, viewport, graphics/control settings, recent round summaries and local error categories. It excludes room codes, session tokens, player names, full page URLs and screenshots. Your written notes are included exactly as entered.
