How a race works

Race up to 3 other players live, each on your own phone. Everyone gets the same 3 stages and 12 shots. Clear all the stages first to win, or be furthest along when the 3 minutes are up. A row under the top bar shows every racer's name and how much of the race they've cleared, as a percentage, after each shot.

• Quick match: you join the next open race. If nobody else comes within 30 seconds, a bot racer (marked 🤖) joins so you can still play; tap Play a bot now to skip the wait. When someone is waiting for a race or a duel, other players see a green Join offer at the top of the screen, even while they play a bot. The bot plays like a top player: it really plays the same stages, tries the best angles before every shot and aims fast, and you can watch its run afterwards.
• 30 seconds per shot: in every live game (Live race and Duel) a ring above your rocket counts down from 30. When it runs out, your phone fires at a random angle, so nobody waits for an idle player.
• Race a friend: you get a 5-letter room code (tap it to copy it) and an invite link. The link opens the race in the app, in Telegram or in the browser. Up to 4 racers join, and the host starts the race. The host can also add a bot.
• Freeze your rivals: a big shot (a Fantastic-level praise or better) puts a layer of ice on a few of the leading rival's bricks. You can freeze someone at most once every 6 seconds.
• Race rating: every racer starts at 1000. Races between players move your rating up or down, depending on your place and on your rivals' ratings. Races with only a bot don't change it. There are no gem prizes, just wins and rating.
• Points, medals and the world ranking: the results show each racer's place with a medal (🥇 🥈 🥉, and a 💐 flower basket for 4th), their time or how far they got, and the points they collected. Whoever clears all 3 stages first wins; the others are placed by how far they got, then by points. Every point you collect in a race, against players or bots, adds up into the world race ranking: open it with World ranking in the results or in Challenges.
• Watch the replays: when the race ends, every racer's run is saved, and the results table has a ▶ Watch replay button on each row. Watch how your rivals played, shot by shot, then come back to the table. A replay can also be shared, and stays available for 30 days.
• You need to be logged in, or play inside Telegram. Other racers see your player name and can watch your run.

A race, step by step

Ranked divisions (from level 25)

Once you've cleared level 25, every Quick match and Quick duel is ranked: it moves your rating up or down, and your rating puts you in a division. Rooms with a friend's code are never ranked. A bot counts as a rival of your own rating, with half the weight of a real player.

Race and Duel each have their own rating and division, shown on their cards in Challenges with a bar to the next division. A season is a calendar month: when it ends, everyone who played at least 3 ranked games gets the prize for the best division they reached (in Rewards), and ratings move halfway back to 1,000.

Ghost race (from level 50)

Ghost race on the Live race card lets you race the recorded runs of a past race, on the very same boards: usually a top racer's, sometimes a friend's. The ghosts (👻) move exactly as those players did, shot by shot, and their big shots still freeze your bricks. It works any time, even when nobody else is online. A ghost race is just for fun: it doesn't change your rating or race points. Each ghost's replay can be watched from the results.
