Enemies

Image	Enemy	Description
	Hyoujunbot	A normal drone. Only has normal sight range. If you get far enough away, he could decide to stop, as he is blind as a bat.
	Suiminbot	A sleepy drone, wake him with bump, has better traction than Hyoujunbot.
	Kosokubot	He is lighter than Suiminbot or even Hyoujunbot and is really fast, with low traction.
	Bunkatbot	Like Hyoujunbot; he splits to smaller versions on death. the bigger he is, the more Bunkatbots he has inside him...
	Sosakubot	Has very high traction and a very high sight range. Sticks very close to you and when in numbers, it can be very difficult to move. Sosakubot could easily be called the player assassin.
	GyojiBot	GyojiBot keeps on shooting at the spot you were in, and the only way of avoiding his attack is to be constantly moving. The temporary armour powerup provides protection from its aim.

There are four different sizes of drone: tiny, normal, large, and largest. The drone you control is the normal size.

Note: Enemy drones only of the normal size can sometimes be equipped with armor or spikes.

Upgrades

Upgrades	Function	Notes
Speed	Increases movement	In addition to the maximum of 10 powerup points on these upgrades, there are also temporary ones that can be collected in the arena.
Traction	Improves resilience to knock-back
Bounce	Increases the distance enemies bounce when hit
Armour	Provides a temporary invulnerability to anything that can cause harm to him in the arena	Can only be collected in the arena.
Spike	Provides the drone with a temporary ability to destroy enemy drones just by running into them.

Techniques

Direct Pressure

Focus on the enemies one by one and push them into a zap trap or a wall or just hit them so hard they can't stop. The most natural tactic and the most used. Make sure you don't over shot and fly into the wall after pushing something else into the wall.

Keep Away

For this strategy you may want high traction and bounce.

You go around in circles a ways away from the edge and hit things as you come back around. It is ideal to use this strategy during times when there are shock traps or when there are enemy drones who have spikes.

Firm Stance

This technique is fairly dangerous, so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

For this strategy you may want high traction and bounce. This technique is recommended most for challenge mode. It is also recommended you use the mouse control (and not a touchpad) for this technique.

When a large group of drones has gathered around you, go fairly close to the energy barrier and stay there WHILE watching GyojiBot, and your distance from the barrier. The bumps from the enemy drones are enough to propel other enemy drones into the energy barrier.

Going In Circles

This technique is quite dangerous, but very effective.

Get a high Speed and Traction, then master the mouse control (that's the most effective control for this method). Keep going around in large circles (between the laser edge and the environment (attractors, pinball stars etc.)), then let the drones hit environment and the edge (they pull eachother in the edges). This method keeped me 7-8 min. in challenge mode.

Hit 'N Run

Do the same as above, but collect power ups (spikes for 6X multiplier) and when you charge is full, get in the middle of the drones, then release it. This method is effective against small-large drones, and you get points quite fast.
