TOURNAMENT

RANKS

Your rank moves with every match: placing against the field decides it, wins count most, bot-filled rooms count 60 percent. Ten placement matches first.

CASES

Cases drop from matches. Every case prints its odds. They open with coins you won or with gems; nothing inside changes a fight.

COLLECTION

Every companion there is, numbered and in series. The ones you have found are real; the rest are shadows. Click any to look at it in 3D.

PLAYER

Their showcase, their dex, their value.

HOW TO PLAY

Two minutes. Four balloonheads. Last one standing cashes out.

Your head is your health

Every hit lets air out. Small head = almost popped, and the whole world goes grey. Air Pumps re-inflate you. Armor from boxes takes hits first: one pickup = vest, two = vest + helmet.

The round

Anchor drop-in → 3-2-1 → 2 minutes on a small island. If more than one balloon is left, overtime: props vanish and the island shrinks. Win a stage and you move up the 4-stage tournament; win all four and you're Grand Champion.

Loot

Walk into boxes. Purple = normal, red diamonds in the centre = the good stuff. A fresh gun spins the reel. Same gun again on your active slot = upgrade. Two slots only — full slots break the box for nothing, so E to throw a gun first. No reload ever: empty gun, click, it flies.

Cash

Coins on the floor, cash in every box, a bag over every head showing what they carry. Pop someone: their bag drops, you take it, plus a bounty. Get popped: you lose it — except the 10 % safe pocket. The Golden Balloon drifts over once a match: shoot it, race for the $5,000 bag.

Cash out

Win the stage and everything you carry pays out: (cash + $50) × stage (×1 ×2 ×3 ×5) × stake × (1 + heat + first win of the day) — straight into your bank. Pick a stake on the home screen: free, or ×2 / ×5 with a buy-in you lose if you get popped. Heat grows with every win in a row and dies when you pop.

Betting

Popped by a player? Spectate and bet coins on who wins — odds follow their cash and air. Capped at 20 % of your bank so dying on purpose never pays.

Two currencies

Coins are earned in matches and are the only thing you ever stake. Gems are bought with real money and only buy skins. Coins can be turned into gems — never the other way. Nothing for sale changes a fight.

SKINS Skins

Whole-body looks, balloon heads, gun skins, pop effects, emotes. Cosmetic only. Show off, never pay to win.

CHALLENGES

Three a day. Come back tomorrow for three more — and keep the streak alive.

GRAND CHAMPION—
