About Voxel Blitz TDM

Coral against Blue, four bots a side, first team to forty kills or whoever leads after three minutes. The arena is a symmetrical block of voxel cover — crates, low walls, a raised centre platform — seen from a steep overhead angle rather than down a gun barrel, which is the decision that shapes everything else about it.

From up there you can see roughly half the map at once, and arrows round the edge of the screen point at enemies you cannot. So it plays less like a shooter and more like a very fast game of positioning: reading where four teammates and four opponents are, picking which fight to join, and trying not to be the one caught in the open when two of them arrive at once.

You have a hundred health, bullets do fourteen, and you fire about six times a second, so a duel is over in a little over a second if both of you are hitting. Death costs three seconds and a brief shield on your return.

What is different about this version

The overhead camera removes the thing most browser shooters get wrong — mouse-look on a trackpad. Your aim is a raycast onto the floor, so the cursor is literally the point you are shooting at, and on a phone the right stick aims and fires in one motion rather than needing a separate trigger. Bullets are slow enough to see, live two thirds of a second and cover about twenty-four units, so the far side of the arena is genuinely out of range and there is no cross-map sniping. Your three allies run their own fixed skill level between normal and hard, which makes the difficulty setting a handicap on the opposition rather than on the whole match.

How to play Voxel Blitz TDM

1. Pick a difficulty, then move out with your three teammates.
2. Aim with the mouse — your soldier faces wherever the cursor is on the ground.
3. Click or hold to fire. Eight hits drop an opponent from full health.
4. Jump to reach the raised platform; low blocks you simply walk up.
5. Every kill adds one to your team's total, and forty ends the match.
6. If nobody reaches forty, the higher score after three minutes takes it.

Strategy

Bullets are projectiles with a visible travel time, and the bots strafe, so leading your shots matters more than clicking precisely. At normal and hard the enemy leads yours as well, which makes the single most valuable movement habit changing direction rather than moving fast. A straight-line sprint across open ground against a hard bot is a free kill for it.

Range is your main tool. Because bullets expire at about twenty-four units and the arena is forty-four across, anyone you can see near the far edge cannot reach you and you cannot reach them. That turns the corners of the map into safe ground for repositioning and makes the centre platform the genuine contested space — it gives height and sightlines, but it also puts you inside everybody's effective range at once. Take it when your team is pushing together and leave it alone when you are respawning alone.

Eight hits to a kill is a long exchange by shooter standards, which means trades are decided by who started shooting first and who has cover to break to. Fight from a block edge: step out, land three or four, step back while the return fire passes. And read the edge arrows before you move — they are pointing at the fight you cannot see, and joining an ally who has already engaged turns a coin-flip duel into a two-on-one.

Mistakes that cost you the game

• Holding a corner while the scoreboard runs. Kills are the clock, so a passive team loses forty to twelve.
• Sprinting in a straight line between two pieces of cover. Every bot above easy leads its shots.
• Shooting at somebody on the far edge of the map. Your bullets die before they arrive.
• Respawning and running straight back to where you died. The spawn shield lasts a moment, not the walk.
• Standing on the centre platform alone. It sees everything, which means everything sees you.

Tips

• Aim slightly ahead of a strafing opponent rather than at it.
• Use the step-up: low blocks can be walked over without jumping, so you keep full speed through cover.
• Watch the red damage edge on your screen — it tells you that you are being shot before your health bar does.
• On easy, bots barely lead their shots at all, so simply strafing sideways makes you very hard to hit.

Questions about Voxel Blitz TDM

Is this online against other people?

No. Every soldier other than you is a bot running in your browser. There is no matchmaking anywhere on the site.

Does difficulty affect my team as well as theirs?

Only the enemy team — reaction time, how much they lead your movement, engagement range and strafing. Your allies stay the same at every setting.

How does a match end?

At forty kills for either side, or at three minutes, in which case the higher score wins and a tie is a draw.

How many shots to a kill?

Eight, so exchanges last long enough to break off and take cover.

Can I play it on a touchscreen?

Yes — twin sticks appear on a touchscreen, the right one aiming and firing together.

Does it cost anything?

No. Voxel Blitz TDM is free to play, runs in your browser, and needs no download, install or account.
