How to play

Mecha 2D is a private-room hide-and-seek game for 2–10 friends. Every player occupies a tiny 6×6-pixel block on a large image.

Set up a match

1. One player creates a room and shares the four-character code.
2. Friends enter the code to join. The host chooses a curated map.
3. The host starts once at least two players are connected.

Paint phase

Roles are assigned at random. Hiders have 60 seconds to move and paint their block. Press C to copy the pixels beneath you, or edit individual squares. Seekers wait behind a blackout.

Hunt phase

Seekers move across the map hunting for the tell: every hider block carries a static raised 3D edge. On a plain background that bezel stands out, so hiders must paint so it blends into the texture. Seekers aim with the mouse and click to fire a shotgun blast of red pellets — any hider caught in the spread is out. The server decides every hit. Seekers move slightly faster than hiders, so patient hiding beats running.

Controls

• Arrow keys: hold to move (release to stop).
• Shift: sprint while moving.
• C: camouflage your hider.
• Mouse: aim your shotgun; click to fire (short cooldown between blasts).
• Mouse wheel and view buttons: zoom or fit the map.

On mobile

• Touch and hold the map to move toward your finger; keep holding to sprint.
• Hiders: tap Paint to zoom in and paint your block, then Done to move again.
• Seekers: aim by holding toward a target and tap Fire to blast.
• Tap Leave to quit to the menu any time, or Back to lobby after a match.
• Works in portrait or landscape.

If your connection drops, keep the tab open: the game automatically attempts to reclaim your seat.
