Accurate Tag

Accurate Tag is a multiplayer party game for 2–4 players. One player starts as IT and passes it on by touching someone else. When the timer reaches zero, whoever is IT explodes; the other players survive and score the round. The player with the most round wins takes the match. Rounds last 10–90 seconds.

Multiplayer

You can play in rooms on official servers, host your own server or play locally with 2–4 players on one screen. Two local players can share the keyboard, while the others use gamepads. Rooms use shareable codes, with lobby chat, quick rematches and a 15-second break between rounds. CPU bots can fill empty slots, with EASY and HARD difficulty settings, and you can play against bots on your own.

Arenas and hazards

Arenas include bounce pads, slippery ice, fire vents and portals. The host can turn hazards on or off, and choose which arenas appear in the rotation, either randomly or in order. Hazards include:

• Meteor Shower: burning blocks fall on marked squares.
• Low Gravity: everyone floats.
• Turbo Mode: everyone moves faster.
• Blackout: the lights go out.
• Shuffle: everyone is teleported.
• Super Jump: players can reach otherwise inaccessible ledges.
• Speed Boost: players move faster.
• Stun: every other player is frozen in place.
• Warp: you teleport three times across the arena.
• Blind: the lights go out for everyone else, and you vanish.
• Swap: you trade places with another player, usually whoever is IT.

Match settings

The host sets the round length, number of rounds, how often power-ups drop and which power-ups are allowed. The host also chooses the arena rotation, whether hazards are active and which music plays.

Effects and soundtrack

The game features hit-stop, screen shake, explosions, fireworks, and CRT, VHS and bloom effects. Screen shake and every visual effect can be reduced or turned off. The synthwave soundtrack by DOS-88 has nine arena tracks to choose from.
