Mega Tag Panic

Mega Tag Panic is a multiplayer game of tag for 2–10 players online, or for solo play against bots. One player starts as IT at normal size and grows every second, becoming large enough to block doorways. The growing size is both a threat and a way to escape: giant IT cannot fit through tunnels or narrow doors. When a round ends, the biggest player is eliminated, so IT must tag someone before time runs out.

Tag and slap

Hold the left mouse button to charge a slap, then release in the red zone to stun and send your target flying. You can slap even when you are not IT, including to shove a friend into the tagger’s reach.

Game modes

The game has six modes:

• Free For All: when time runs out, IT is eliminated.
• Teams: red and blue teams compete; one team freezes players while the other thaws them.
• Infection: tagged players become IT too, and the last one standing wins.
• Freeze Tag: tagged players freeze until a friend thaws them.
• Crown Grab: everyone chases one crown; hold it for 20 seconds to win.
• Last One Standing: there is no tagger, and traps take away your three lives. Stay alive to win.

Characters and powers

Each of the 10 characters has a power activated with the F key. The game has no other hidden character stats.

• Puf — Fluff Cloud: bursts into feathers and vanishes for 3 seconds.
• Alev — Flare Up: blasts high into the air instantly.
• Balbal — Stone Wall: raises a stone block in front of you for 6 seconds.
• Tekgöz — Hypnosis: flips the steering of whoever you look at for 1.5 seconds.
• Buz — Ice Trap: drops a slippery pool of ice that makes anyone who steps on it slide out of control.
• Dikko — Spike Field: leaves spike patches that slow anyone who steps on them.
• Kıvırcık — Headbutt Quake: slams the ground and blasts everyone nearby away.
• Hayalet — Ghost Walk: passes through anything for 3 seconds.
• Tosbik — Shell Ball: tucks into its shell and rolls forward. Anyone who hits it cannot tag you, and the slap launches you far away.
• Tilki — Fake Twin: leaves a motionless copy for 4 seconds; bots and startled players run toward it.

Maps and hazards

There are 12 maps: Manor, Park, Planet, Ship, Glacier, Factory, Water Tower, Windmill, Volcano, Cavern, Arena and Obstacle Course. Each has its own rules and hazards: the Ship rolls while an island slowly draws alongside, the Water Tower floods, the Arena collapses ring by ring, and lava launches you skyward. You can also choose Shuffle to get a different map each round.

Bots and progression

Bots are available at easy, normal and hard difficulty. On hard, they slap one another, and the game can be played alone or with up to nine friends.

Each match earns XP and Panic Points. Levelling up unlocks perks such as faster running, higher jumps and a shorter dash cooldown. You can spend points in the shop on slap skins, tagger trails, pop styles, name colours, badges and extra perks, including harder slaps, less knockback and a shorter power cooldown. Only one perk can be active at a time, so perks cannot be stacked.

At the end of a match, the game takes a photo of you on the podium, saves it to your match history and lets you watch the replay.
