SPEARFALL is a long-range javelin duel across a stormy chasm. You and your rival stand on floating terraces on either side of the gap: tap to throw a quick spear, or hold until the bar is full for a kill shot that finishes in one hit.
How to play SPEARFALL
Each side has a glowing keystone that moves from block to block. Break the rival's keystone and the block it held falls into the storm, along with anyone standing on it.
Drop all six of your rival's blocks and the round is yours. Matches are best of three rounds.
Watch your own blocks too: when one turns orange, get off it before it falls.
The wind pushes every throw, and it blows harder with every rival on the ladder.
Earn gold from hits, keystones and golden wisps, and spend it at the shrine.

- FRIEND DUEL: challenge a friend with a room code.
Tips
- Put the gold diamond on your target, not the reticle. The diamond shows where the wind will carry your spear.
- A quick spear takes one bar of life; a full kill shot ends the duel in one hit. Use quick throws to pressure, and the kill shot when your rival is standing still.
- Aim for the keystone as often as the rival. Every keystone you break drops a block, and a rival standing on it falls with it.
- Hop between terraces to dodge. Standing still makes you the easiest target for a kill shot.
- Spend at the shrine: faster loading, a stronger arm, a wind-proof spearhead and a buckler all change how a duel plays.
