Drone Rush

Team drone combat — fly, aim, fire missiles, and outscore the other teams. Top killer earns MVP.

What you're trying to do

Destroy enemy drones with missiles. Every kill gives your team +10 points. When the match timer ends, the team with the highest score wins. The player with the most kills becomes MVP.

Getting started

Mouse & weapons

  • Move mouse — aim up, down, left, right (like a flight sim).
  • Left click — fire a missile (only when mouse is locked).
  • W + aim up — climb higher.
  • W + aim down — dive lower.
Your drone always flies where you are looking. Point at the sky and press W to go up; point at the ground and press W to dive.

Missiles & kills

Firing

  • You start with 20 missiles (shown in the top-right ammo circle).
  • Missiles travel in a straight line where you aim — direct hits destroy enemy drones.
  • Short cooldown between shots (~½ second).
  • Missiles do not damage teammates — they pass through friendly drones.

Spawn protection

For the first ~4 seconds after the match starts, weapons are disabled. This lets everyone spread out from their carrier safely.

If you get destroyed

You'll see a “DESTROYED” screen and automatically respawn on your team's carrier pad after about 10 seconds with a full missile load.

Scoring

  • +10 pts to your team per enemy kill
  • +10 pts personal score for you as the shooter
  • “Kill confirmed!” toast when you score a hit
  • Team scores shown at the top of the screen during the match
  • Match results show team rankings and MVP (most kills)
  • Timer counts down from 10:00

Missile refilling

When you run low

Fly back to your team's carrier ship (the large ship at your team's colored pad on the map edge).

  • Land on the deck of your carrier (low altitude, on the ship surface).
  • Stay on the deck for 5 seconds to fully refill all 20 missiles.
  • While refilling, the ammo ring turns amber and fills up.
  • If you leave the deck early, refill progress resets.

Minimap (bottom-left)

  • Shows the full arena with all pilots as colored arrows.
  • Rotates so forward is always up on the minimap.
  • Small circles mark each team's carrier.

Play smarter

  • Click the arena if you can't move the camera — you need mouse lock.
  • Watch your ammo count — plan trips back to your carrier before you're empty.
  • Use the minimap to spot enemies and avoid flying blind into a fight.
  • After respawn you get a full ammo load automatically.
  • On slower laptops, enable “Low quality — event mode” in the left sidebar.
  • You can change team in the lobby bar at the top before the host starts.
  • Don't crash into enemy drones at full speed — collisions destroy both of you!
  • Coordinate with teammates — focus fire on the same targets.
