FAQ

A fast arcade-style game from Voodoo where you steer a roaming portal around a city or themed map, consume objects to grow, and try to finish with the highest size and score before the timer ends. Rounds are short, chaotic, and rewarding once you learn object values and movement tricks. Early seconds focus on small items and traffic, midgame opens up cars and structures, and the final sprint is about swallowing large targets and contesting hotspots with other players.
Classic mode is a timed free-for-all where score decides placement. Solo Run removes opponents so you can practice routes and see how big you can get within the time limit. Battle Royale eliminates smaller players when they’re fully absorbed, creating high-tension chases and area control in the late game. Some versions rotate limited-time modes or special maps that tweak rules, object density, or spawn layouts to keep things fresh.
Target clusters of low-value items you can absorb instantly—pedestrians, street signs, benches, traffic cones, parking-lot debris. Work the lower half of the map where density is high, and move in sweeping arcs to chain pickups without stopping. Avoid chasing a single car or a too-large target early; the time lost stalling your movement costs more than the points you’d gain. Once you hit the first size threshold, pivot to cars and vendor stalls before hunting larger structures.
Small size thrives on scattered items and tightly packed sidewalks. Medium size should prioritize cars, bikes, kiosks, dumpsters, and small trees; rows of parked vehicles are jackpot lanes. Large size can take buses, fountains, big trees, and small houses, then graduate to multistory buildings and clusters of structures. When you reach late-game mass, sweeping along a street’s building line in a smooth curve lets entire blocks drop in with minimal steering.
Awareness and routing matter. Keep an eye on rival positions using peripheral vision and avoid drifting into alleys with no exits when a larger opponent is nearby. If you’re chased, cut diagonally through dense object fields; consuming even a few items can tick you up a size and turn the tables. Use corners and curbs to wedge mid-size targets into your center, and circle around big objects so they tip in without blocking your path. When two rivals converge, slip behind one and steal the trail of items they loosened.
City-style layouts reward loops around parks, plazas, and parking lots. Beach or port themes feature lines of umbrellas, boats, and market stalls that scale well through the midgame. Museum or futuristic maps may concentrate high-value pieces in exhibit halls—memorize entry points so you can dash in after the first growth spike. Each layout has signature clusters; learn two to three reliable circuits per map so you always have a plan B when a hotspot is already picked clean.
Smooth input helps. On touch devices, choose between joystick and drag steering and adjust sensitivity until small movements translate to gentle curves rather than zigzags. Close background apps, enable high-performance mode, and cap display refresh if your phone heats up; consistent frame pacing is more important than maximum visuals. On PC web versions, use a modern browser, toggle hardware acceleration, and keep extensions that inject overlays turned off to prevent stutter.
Shift from farming to high-impact sweeps. Approach long rows of buildings or tree-lined boulevards at a slight angle, letting objects slide in continuously while you stay in motion. Contest central plazas only if you’re confident you can outmaneuver rivals; otherwise, pivot to secondary streets that others ignored. Leave yourself an escape route so a larger opponent can’t trap you against a dead end, and glance at the clock—a clean final pass is worth more than a risky duel that stalls your movement.
Many versions provide skins, trails, or starting perks unlocked by playing matches, completing simple challenges, or collecting daily rewards. In-app purchases usually speed up cosmetic access, but steady play unlocks plenty over time. If coins are available, prioritize items that improve your early consistency, then add flair once you’re comfortable with your routes. Limited events often grant free cosmetics for reaching placement milestones during a set window.
Turning off mobile data or using airplane mode can reduce interstitials in some offline variants, though online features require connectivity. If a paid ad-free option exists, verify it through the official store page tied to your account so it syncs across devices on the same platform family. Use system-level controls to restrict purchases, enable PIN confirmations, and set content limits for younger players. Back up progress by linking to a platform account when the game offers cloud saves.
