Crypto Royale uses a rock-paper-scissors format, where each color is strong or weak against either of the other two colors. Yellow can damage Cyan , which can damage Magenta , which in turn can damage Yellow . If two players are the same color, the one with the higher HP can damage the player with less HP. Players that can damage you can be identified by the spikes around the edges of their avatar. Once any player reaches 25 HP or less, they lose the capability to boost, as well as being only a single hit away from death. This state is indicated by an exclamation mark (!) inside their avatar.

Every player starts with 100 HP, and can gain more HP, as well as changing the color of their avatar, by picking up the colored pips () scattered around the field. The shiny pips will give you HP, but picking them up also gives you a lucky box that you can claim for a small ROY bounty. If you kill another player you'll also get a lucky box with their letter in it that is worth a much higher bounty of ROY.

Use your mouse cursor to move on desktop, or your finger to move on mobile, and click or tap to spend 25% of your health on a boost of speed. If you bump into a player that you can damage, you will steal 50% of their HP for yourself. Of course, if they can damage you, you will lose 50% of your health to them. As play progresses, The Darkness on the edges of the play area will start encroaching on the center. Any player in The Darkness will constantly lose HP until they get back to the circle in the center.

The spikes are not an upgrade or equipment. They are a visual representation of danger, and they appear for you when an opponent has a stronger color, or the same color but more HP than you do. Your opponents see different distributions of spikes than you do, based on what they are vulnerable to, and if you don't see spikes on someone, that means they see spikes on you. If you touch someone with spikes, you will lose 50% of you HP, and they will gain that much HP, and the reverse is true if you touch someone who does not have spikes.

The mobile version is currently available on mobile browsers at the same website addresses. On iOS tap the game window, and on Android turn the phone landscape. Then for direction control, press and drag your finger on the website, for boosting, tap on the screen.

It's not a bug its a feature. This is a move called "static boost". You can do this by being perfectly still and clicking to gather momentum in place. Then, point your cursor at the direction you want to go to shoot in that direction.

Private games can be created using the !royale command and funded by your own ROY. The format is !royale <# of ROY> [names=#(0-1)] [max=#(2-10)] [min=#(2-10)] [Text Description] and the ROY paid by the game creator is spread evenly across all the games. (so for example a command of !royale 50 games=5 names=1 max=5 min=3 Games Here would create 5 games, with pots of 10 ROY each, with visible names, that at most 5 people would be able to play, and would require 3 people to start, with a description of "Games Here") All commands within [ ] are optional, and will default to invisible names, minimum of 2 players, maximum of 10 players, and no text description.

The in-game player rating (unlike the discord rating - see planet roles question above) is calculated based on the ELO system, which calculates the player's skill level in relation to other players. Simply put, if you win against a player with a higher ELO number, your ranking goes up, and if you lose against a player with a lower ELO number, your ranking goes down. You can read more about the ELO system here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system and check out the Multiplayer ELO library that is used in the game here: https://github.com/FigBug/Multiplayer-ELO
