Physics Engine Explained

  • Inertia & Friction: Movement has low friction (Ice Physics). You cannot stop instantly. Counter-strafe (press opposite key) to brake.
  • Impulse System: Attacks apply an Instantaneous Impulse vector. Where you look is where you push.
  • Charge Mechanic:
    • Tapping E = Weak poke (Low knockback)
    • Holding E (1.5s) = Max Power (High knockback + Recoil)
  • Recoil: Newton's 3rd Law applies! Hitting someone with max power pushes YOU back too. Don't stand on the edge while attacking!
