Gunbound/Gameplay

Disregarding game modes, players take turns firing projectiles from their mobile at a certain target, be it jewels or other players. During a player's turn the player can move their mobile left or right (and thus fall from an edge if they go too far), adjust the angle of their shot, use an item, choose what shot to use, and fire.

Avatars
Every player has an in-game representation of themselves. These are either a generic male or female, and players can dress them up with items they purchase from the gold they win or the specialized currency they can purchase with real money. Avatars do nothing by themselves besides add aestheticism and statistical modifications to the game.

Avatar Items
Avatar Items are the items that players can dress their avatar with. These can be either temporary or permanent, depending on how much a player is willing to spend on them. Items can range in how many bonuses they give: while some give none (backgrounds), others can give many.

Servers
When first starting the game, it will show a server list. There are 12 servers. If you are a beginner (just registered your account), you need to go to one of the first 2 servers. They are beginner servers, so more advanced players aren't allowed in them. After you've clicked on a server, you'll see lots of game rooms at the top of the screen, and a chatroom at the bottom of the screen. Click on a game room to join it. Or click the Create Game to create one that others can join.

Modes
All game modes require exactly two teams with equal amounts of players on each team. There is the red team and the blue team.

Note: The balls can fuse together into one ball with all the abilities of each single ball.
 * Solo: Each player has 1 life, and when everyone on one team dies, the other team wins.
 * Tag: Each player still has 1 life, but they also get 2 mobiles. Their second mobile only has half of it's health, though. So if you're first mobile is below half of it's health, you'll probably want to switch ("tag") mobiles.
 * Score: Each team has a certain number of lives. The number of lives is the number of people on the team + 1. So if there are 3 people on each team, each team has 4 lives. Every time someone dies, their team loses 1 life. The player can drop down onto the map 4 turns after he/she dies. The first team to lose all its lives loses. You also lose if everyone on your team is dead, even if you have a couple lives left.
 * Jewel: Raons with different numbers on them drop onto the map. The higher the number, the harder the raon is to destroy. The numbers can be either -5, 5, 10, or 25. Every time you destroy a raon, the number it was carrying is added to your team's score (if you destroy the -5 raon, 5 points are taken away from your score). The first team to have 100 points wins. The only way to die in this mode is to fall off the map. After falling off the map, you can drop back down after 2 turns. If everyone on your team has fallen off, your team loses. If you shoot at a raon, but it doesn't die, its health is restored completely. You can destroy the ground underneath the raon to make it fall off the map to get the points.
 * Powerball: This is a solo game, but all items are disabled. Instead, every turn in the game, a ball will drop from the sky. When a player gets close enough to a ball, the ball rolls towards them (the ball can also drop on them, whether from the sky or from recoiling from an enemy's attack), and the player obtains the ball's ability. The five different ball types are as follows:
 * Dual Ball: Makes one fires two shots at once.
 * Thunder Ball: Gives one the ability of a thunder/electrical attack.
 * Force Ball: Gives one the ability of a solar attack.
 * Gold Ball: Gives 20% more gold in your attacks.
 * Bomb Ball: Causes all the balls (including their abilities) one has to bounce away.

Delay
Delay is the number you see beside your name and the other players' names in the player list on the lower left side of the screen in the game. Delay determines the order which players get their turn. Shot1 has the least delay. Shot2 has more delay (Except for J.Frog, Shot1 and Shot2 of this mobile has the same delay), and SS has lots of delay. Every second it takes to take your turn, 10 is added to your delay; except for Turtle, that gives 12 delay per second.Items can give lots of delay, oftentimes more than SS. You need to know how to use delay in order to win, especially in 1on1 fights where you are very close to the other player.


 * How to compute for delay:
 * Basic: The player on top will move first on the next turn, the one below it second, and so on. You can see your name go up and down the player list when you switch shots or if you use items. Delay is very important for your strategy.

Example:
 * Advanced: The numbers beside the players' names are their delays relative to you. This basically means that if you find a +100 next to the name of your opponent, he/she has 100 more delay than you do. Since he/she has more delay, your name should be on top of your opponent's name and you will shoot before your opponent. On the other hand, if your opponent has a -100 next to his/her name, you have 100 more delay than that person, and you will execute your turn after him/her. Delay in items affect these numerical delay values directly: Dual will add 600 to your delay, Teleport will add 150, etc. This way, you can calculate the outcome of the next turn -- will you have the chance to move again? This is especially useful when your opponent uses Dual or SS. If you see more than +600 next to the name of your opponent, you can safely use Dual (using the shot you are currently using; since switching between Shot1 and 2 can have drastic effects on your delay) and know that you will move ahead of your opponent on the next turn.

Opponent +800

-Upon using Dual and consuming 5 seconds to calculate your attack-

Opponent +150 (800 - 600 (Dual) - 50 (5 seconds)

On the next turn, you will still move ahead of your opponent. On this turn, why not use Dual again and finish him/her off?


 * TIP: Do not select Shot2 when using teleport because it would cost you a lot more delay than if you just use Shot1.

Items
Items let you do extra damage to your opponent, or help you win in some way. Each item has a certain amount of delay (one of them doesn't) added to your shot. To select your items, click on the items button in the game room. There you can fill 6 item slots. Some items fill 2 slots, some of them fill 1 slot. Some of them might be grayed out, which means you cannot select them. The host decides which ones can and can't be used. If you are the host, just right-click on the items to turn them on or off.
