The aim of the game is to destroy the other team’s cannon.
Both sides have shields which can be regenerated using the repair bot.
Before each match, the order in which each team’s weapons are unlocked is randomized.
Weapons are unlocked after fixed amounts of time. Locked weapon buckets have a timer display showing the time until the weapon is unlocked.
Marbles eventually fall into different types of buckets:
Weapon buckets assign a weapon type to a marble, indicated by colour. These join a queue to be fired by the cannon.
Repair bucket assigns the marble as a repair marble. These join a queue to trigger the repair bot.
Multiplier bucket (e.g. X2) multiplies the marble’s number by the value. All marbles start in the mixer with a value of 1.
Multipliers increase over time to X2.5 and then finally X3
Addition bucket (+1) adds a number to the marble’s number.
Cannons fire marbles in order according to the cannon queue.
If there are too many marbles in the cannon queue, they will fall out of the overspill.
If marbles have a value over 500, the canon or repair bot will only use 500 of that value, and then spit out a value with the remainder.
e.g. if a marble with a value of 820 falls into the cannon, the cannon will spit out a marble with a value of 820-500=320, and fire 500 shots.
How does the League work?
Each team plays each other twice - once home, and once away
League position is decided by the following stats in order or importance (topmost is the most important)
Points
Health
Head-to-head results (if any at this point)
Alphabetical order
League position examples
If two teams have the same number of points, but Team A has 540 health and Team B has 200 health, then Team A is above Team B in the league table.
If two teams have the same number of points and health, but Team B beat Team A in the one match they have played, then Team B is above Team A.
If two teams have the same number of point, same health, and both teams won one each in the two head-to-heads, but in head-to-heads Team A has 70 health and Team B has 30 health, then Team A is above team B.
