## Gameplay

### Gameplay Overview

According to legend, when the stars had yet to show and the village was empty, the God slumbered here deep under the water.

The ancient prophecy attracted the attention of many investigators, yet none knew of the battle and madness going on in the village. None could say if what they saw and sensed were illusions in the mist or a trial from the gods. They merely believed in a single voice— The loser will be lost in the fog of day, and the winner will be led to God in ruins.

### How to play

1. **How to Play:** **Frenzy Rhapsody** is a 3v3 survival match. You will assume the role of Survivors and use various balls to attack and eliminate your opponents for points. The first team to reach the target score (20) or the team with the highest score at the end of the match will be declared the winner.
2. **Point Rules:** Every Survivor starts with 0 Fear and gains 500 Fear when hit. A Survivor will be eliminated when their Fear reaches 1,000, and the opposing team will gain 1 point. Eliminated Survivors will rejoin the match after a short duration.
3. **Frenzy phase** begins at the final 2 minutes. The intensity of the match will skyrocket (tentacle movement and the refresh rate of special balls will increase tremendously).
4. Besides the Little Girl, all other Survivors are available in Frenzy Rhapsody. However, items and talents are prohibited, and all Survivors will share the same movement speed.

### About Scene

1. There are various platforms in the scene, two of which are symmetrical in location and shape, and they serve as the starting platforms for both teams. You will appear on your team's platform upon joining a game or revival.
2. The tentacles of the Feaster are at the center of the scene, and they will attack Survivors with special balls periodically. Keep your guard up!
3. There are leaf trampolines throughout the scene that can help you travel and seize the advantage.
4. Balls will be refreshed at random locations in the scene. Balls in the distance will display their outlines.

## Interactions

### Charge up

* There are a total of 4 charging levels for balls, Lv.0, 1, 2, and 3. The ball's speed varies at each charging level, and charging levels can be increased through various methods.
* You can increase a ball's charging level by tapping the Charge Up icon. Charging up a ball increases its level from Lv. 0 to Lv. 1.
* The charging level can also be increased from Lv. 0 to Lv. 1 by passing the ball.
* Perfect catches increase charging level too. A perfect catch increases its charging level to Lv. 2. If a ball is already at Lv. 2, a perfect catch increases its charging level to Lv. 3. If a ball is at Lv. 3, a perfect catch will not change its charging level, but the ball's speed will increase slightly.
* Upon catching a ball, the charging level will gradually diminish after being held by a Survivor for some time.

### Lock on

* The inverted triangle above the Survivors is a target marker. You can mark one opponent and one teammate at once.
* At certain Charge Up states, you will lock on to the targets with the target markers. Locking on an enemy allows you to see their outline through objects.
* When a target has a target marker or is locked on, the balls you throw will track and follow them.

### Throw

* Tap the Throw button to throw a ball in your hand.
* Tap and hold the Throw button to display the throwing trajectory. Release the ball in different trajectories to avoid obstacles and take your opponents by surprise.

### Catch

* When a ball comes flying at you, tap the Catch button at the right time to catch the ball. You can even catch a ball from the enemy when tapping at the right time.
* Your timing determines if the catch is a perfect catch or a normal catch. A perfect catch increases the ball's charging level, while a normal catch does not.

### Pass

* Tap the Pass button to pass a ball to a teammate. The ball will return to you if the teammate already has a ball.
* Tap and hold the Pass button to display the throwing trajectory. Release the balls in different trajectories to send them right into your teammates' hands.

### Bump

* Tap the Bump button to dash forward in the camera's direction. Survivors from the opposing team will be knocked down when they're hit.
* While you're dashing, you're impervious to attacks except for explosions.

### Glide

* Tap the Glide button in mid-air to unfold your Wooden Wings and glide through the air. Tap the Glide button while gliding to retract your Wooden Wings.
* You can perform actions like Charge Up, Throw, and Catch while gliding.

### Bump Fake

1. When you possess a ball, swipe down and release the Throw button to perform a Pump Fake.
2. During a Pump Fake, a ball-throwing motion will perform, but the ball will not be thrown. Use this to trick your opponents into reacting.
