Players view the arena from a three-dimensional perspective and compete in enclosed rooms with changing layouts. The main objective is to obtain the bomb and deliver it to another player, while avoiding explosions, falling hazards, and dangerous arena machinery.

Rounds reward quick movement and careful positioning. Players can use the arena's walls, platforms, switches, and hazards to escape or redirect danger. Progression is based on winning individual matches and learning the behavior of each arena rather than on a conventional story campaign.

Keep moving when another player has the bomb, but avoid running blindly into a corner or onto an active hazard. Learn the safest routes around each arena and identify places where a blast can be redirected or avoided.

When carrying the bomb, approach opponents from angles that limit their escape options. Watch the arena itself as closely as the other players: environmental timing can be more important than direct pursuit.
