Game Modes ​

AIRMASH has three game modes. Each plays quite differently.

Free For All (FFA) ​

Every pilot for themselves. Kill to earn score, die and lose some. Climb the leaderboard.

How it works:

  • You spawn, you fight, you respawn. No teams, no objectives beyond the kill.
  • Score is gained from kills and lost on death — the leaderboard reflects your current streak.
  • Inferno and shield powerups spawn around the map.
  • Upgrades drop when you kill players with enough score.

Map: The full world map with regional spawn zones (Europe, Canada, Latin America, Asia).

Capture the Flag (CTF) ​

Two teams. Two flags. Grab theirs, defend yours.

How it works:

  • Blue and Red teams each have a base with a flag.
  • Capture the enemy flag by flying it back to your own base while your flag is safe.
  • Your team's base has a periodic shield that protects the flag area.
  • Respawn near your base after dying.

Strategy:

  • Coordinate between attack and defense.
  • Mohawks and Predators are great runners — fast enough to grab and go.
  • Goliaths can guard the base and repel attackers.
  • Prowlers can stealth-grab flags.
  • In Air-Battle, bots strategize between #capture and #defend and will pass the flag to teammates.

Map: The full world map with bases at opposite ends.

This is the mode Air-Battle hosts — play it now.

Battle Royale (BTR) ​

Last one flying wins. A shrinking firewall forces everyone together.

How it works:

  • Players gather in a waiting area until enough join.
  • When the match starts, everyone is placed on the map.
  • A firewall closes in from the edges over time — stay inside or take damage.
  • No respawns. Last player alive wins the round.
  • After the round ends, the next match begins after a short wait.

Strategy:

  • Positioning matters — don't get pushed to the edge of the firewall.
  • Collect powerups early while the map is large.
  • Predator boost is great for escaping tight spots.

Map: The standard map, with a visible boundary that shrinks toward the center.
