THE CURSED CROWN

One of you wears it. The rest of you want it.
👑
THE WEARER SCORES Hold the crown and you bank points every second. First to 100 wins the match.
⚔️
EVERYONE ELSE HUNTS THEM While someone wears the crown, the rest of you are allies — you cannot hurt each other. You can only hurt the king.
💀
HOW TO TAKE THE CROWN — KO THE WEARER Knock them off the stage and you put it on. That's the only way it moves. You steal +8 points for the regicide, and they lose 15. The instant you take it, your allies turn on you.
🛡️
THE CROWN IS HEAVY — AND IT PROTECTS YOU You're fighting everyone, so you get faster, you charge your ★ SUPER faster, and you take less damage. But you fly further when hit — a clean launch still kills you.
🏃
YOU CANNOT HIDE WITH IT Run away and the crown lights you up for everyone — and your scoring stops. Hold the centre or hold nothing.
♾️
NOBODY IS ELIMINATED You have infinite lives here. Dying just costs you the crown — and your lead.
◈ WIN THE CROWN: +80 SHARDS · you also earn for every point you bank

📖 WHAT YOUR SKILLS DO
Every skill is a trade — it gives with one hand and takes with the other. Nothing here makes you strictly stronger; it makes you different. No single stat can drift more than ±6%, so a build shapes your fighter, it never breaks the game.

HOW TO PLAY

Goal — Rack up damage % on rivals, then launch them off the arena. The higher their %, the harder they fly — heavily damaged fighters smoke, glow red, and streak off the screen. Each fighter has 3 stocks; last sorcerer standing wins.

Touch — On mobile you get a smooth joystick on the left for movement plus ⤒ JUMP, ⚔ ATTACK, ✦ POWER, ✋ GRAB and ★ SUPER. Prefer sticks? Settings ▸ Controls offers 🕹🕹 TWIN STICKS: flick the right stick ⤒ up to jump, ⚔ right to attack (hold to keep attacking), ✋ down to grab, ✦ left for powers. Every fighter jumps differently — teleport hops, triple wing-flaps, glides and more. Hold to drop through thin platforms.

Melee — ⚔ alone chains a combo. Hold ◀/▶, ▲ or ▼ with ⚔ for tilts, or run into it for a dash attack. FLICK a direction and press ⚔ in the same instant for a chargeable SMASH ATTACK — hold ⚔ to charge, release to devastate. In the air, ⚔ + direction gives four aerials, including a ▼ meteor spike that slams foes straight down.

Defense — hold ▼ on solid ground to raise a SHIELD that blocks attacks (it shrinks under pressure — if it breaks, you're stunned). Tap ◀/▶ while shielding to ROLL with invincibility. But beware: grabs go straight through shields. And when YOU get launched, hold a direction to steer your flight (DI) and survive longer.

⚡ PARRY — don't hold ▼ — TAP it, right as the attack lands. Hold is a shield; a tap is a parry, and it works in the air too.
Get it right and the attack is completely negated: a melee is turned aside and you fire an automatic counter-strike that blows them away — and a projectile is thrown straight back at them, faster and angrier than it arrived.
The window is generous (a fifth of a second), so if you read the attack it will not fail you. But the attack has to actually be on you — you can't parry thin air. And every parry costs shield, so you can't just mash it: spam it and you'll have nothing left to parry or block with.

The ledge — falling past a stage edge catches the ledge automatically — and so does simply walking off it. Once you're hanging you can stay there as long as you like: nothing drags you off, and your jumps come back.
From the hang: TAP ▲ to climb up · ⤒ leaps high · ⚔ climbs up swinging · ▼ (or hold away from the stage) lets go.

Powers — ✦ alone, or with ◀/▶, ▲, ▼ held, fires one of 4 unique cursed techniques. ▲ + ✦ is always your recovery move!

Grab — ✋ lunges forward to seize a rival — then carry them: walk left/right or even jump with them before the throw fires. Some fighters reach much farther than others. Mash buttons to break free when grabbed. KO someone with a power or grab and their doom is sealed with your fighter's unique FATALITY effect.

Super — the ★ button unleashes your fighter's SUPER POWER — sky-splitting lightning, true flight, arena-wide blizzards and more. It charges by LANDING HITS on your rivals — watch the gold ring fill around the button, then unleash it.

Pause — the ▐▐ button shows every technique for the fighters in your match.

Keyboard (P1) — A/D move, W/S aim, F jump, G attack, H power, T grab, Y super.
Keyboard (P2) — Arrows move/aim, K jump, L attack, ; power, O grab, P super.

Gameplay covers battle music, jumps, menus and the match countdown. Effects covers hits, powers, grabs, fatalities and stage hazards.
AUTO keeps the framerate steady when the screen gets busy — it quietly trims sparks and softens the image rather than dropping frames, and restores everything once the fight calms down. Turn it OFF to always render at full sharpness (may stutter in 4-player brawls on phones).
1.7×
When on, fighters with hand-painted sprite art (like Ignis & Fury) use it instead of the drawn body. The size slider grows them from the feet up — 1× keeps them at hitbox size, higher makes them tower. Turn off for the classic look or on slower devices.

👑Cursed Sovereign1700+ CRThe apex. Every sorcerer in the ladder knows your name.
Special Grade1500+ CRA calamity in human form — feared in every queue.
Exorcist1300+ CRA proven duelist who has banished dozens of rivals.

Adept1050+ CRThe curse has taken hold — you win more than you lose.
·Initiatebelow 1050Everyone starts at 1000 CR. Prove yourself online.
How rating works: every online victory is +25 CR, every loss is −15 CR (never below 700). Local and VS-computer battles never touch your rating — the ladder is earned. Win streaks show as 🔥 on your profile. Reaching a rank's CR — even once — permanently unlocks its prestige badge (your PEAK counts), which you can pin next to your name in 🎖 CUSTOMIZE for every rival to see.
