The objective of the game is to reach the opposing team's gate and stay next to it until it opens fully.

Shoot enemy players to freeze them. They will un-freeze a number of seconds after they are frozen.

You can move by jumping off of any obstacle, and you will jump in the direction of the mouse pointer. You will also move due to the recoil from firing your gun. When frozen, you will bounce off of obstacles. If you unfreeze away from obstacles, shoot your weapon to move back towards the nearest obstacle.
