How it works
Hot seat: WASD / arrows to move, click or hold to shoot. Survive 90s and your name goes on the wall. Every monster that touches you costs a heart. You have five. You can't reach the red lane along the walls, but the mob can, so there is no corner to hide in.
Everyone else: move your mouse over the arena and you spawn as a monster with a random power. It follows your mouse. Click (or press Space) to use the power. Touch the hot seat to land a hit. Shot down? You come back in three seconds with a new power.
The bigger the mob, the stronger the hot seat. Its guns level up as the mob grows, and every level has a name. Up to 40 monsters fit on the field; the rest wait for a free spot.

Crates
Every few seconds a crate drops near the hot seat. Cyan crates are for the hot seat: fly into one to grab it. A monster that touches one first snatches it away. Pink crates are for the mob: any monster grabs them by touching. The hot seat can shoot a pink crate to deny it. Crates vanish after 20 seconds.

On a phone: drag a finger over the arena to steer your monster and tap to use the power. In the hot seat, the left half is a joystick and touching the right half aims and fires.
Practice mob: alone in here? The red card summons a practice mob of labeled bots that hunt the hot seat. It leaves by itself once two people are watching and never counts as a watcher.
