***COPTER ROYALE TIPS & TRICKS***

***Loot the crates.** As you explore the battlefield, you’ll notice loot boxes and other items scattered around. Items are invaluable to your copter, especially when you’re in a tight spot. Blast the crates by aiming and clicking with your mouse. Fly over the items from the crate to pick them up and put them to use. You can’t over-buff your copter, though. Only one superpower can be used for a limited time -- so you’ll have to use them strategically! You can swap your current power for another, so be sure to try them all!*

***Defend yourself.** Don’t forget: this is a battle royale style game! Other players will be out to get your copter and knock you out of the rankings. You can defend your copter by using the shield upgrades or buy fortifying a strong base. You can build your own walls with the spacebar as you fly around. Connect the dots to create barriers around your territory. Enemy copters can break down your walls, but if they’re big enough, you may have a chance!*

***Watch the fog.** The toxic fog will advance every few seconds. You can see the area the fog will cover on the battlefield marked with a circle. If your copter gets caught outside the border when the fog advances, you will only have 10 seconds to escape before you’re done for!*

***Boost your stats.** Keep an eye on your stats bar on the bottom left corner of the screen. You can collect upgrades and boosts around the battlefield to increase your speed, your shooting speed, and barrier strength. Max out your stats to get an edge on your opponents!*

***Pop copters.** At the end of each round you’ll gain XP for your copter. The amount you bring in depends on your rank, time you spent flying, and the amount of copters you’ve popped. If you pop more enemies, you’ll gain more points and level up faster. Leveling up unlocks different customization options, emotes and more!*

***WHAT IS COPTER ROYALE?***

*100 copters start the game... the winner is the last one flying! Outwit and outmaneuver your opponents in this strategy free-for-all. Level up your copter to customize and add some extra flare. Collect upgrades, shoot crates to find superpowers, and avoid the toxic fog to come out on top!*

## Gameplay

Each player controls a helicopter, being able to move around with WASD, and turn by moving the mouse cursor or with the left and right arrow keys.

By clicking or pressing the up arrow key, the helicopter will shoot a bullet towards the direction it is facing, which will disappear after flying for enough time, or destroying anything. If an opponent is hit by the bullet, they will be "popped," and eliminated from the game, while leaving behind the attacker's badge, chosen at the title screen.

By right-clicking or pressing the space bar, the helicopter can place down a dot with their color under it, provided there isn't a dot too close to it. After placing down a dot, a semi-transparent line connects the helicopter to the dot, as long as they are close enough (though the line will become more transparent closer to the edges of the range). By placing down or flying over another dot made by the same player, a wall will be formed between the dots. Unlike the transparent line, which is only visible to the player who placed the dot down, this wall is visible to all players. The creator of the line can freely move and shoot through the wall, but an opponent will be popped if they run into the wall, and their bullets will ricochet off it. However, if an opponent's bullet hits a dot, it will disappear, along with any lines connected to it. If the player makes a loop with their walls, the area within them will gain their color, though this is merely cosmetic.

Upon entering the game, players are transported to a "training room," where any player can move and shoot through any player's walls, and players are unable to be popped. After an amount of time shown on the top of the screen, the players will appear in the real battlefield.
