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

One player creates a room and shares the four-character code.
Friends enter the code to join. The host chooses a curated map.
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 or copy the pixels beneath them. 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. A shotgun blast catches any hider in its spread, and the server decides every hit. Seekers move slightly faster than hiders, so patient hiding beats running.
