Description

Friction is a fast-paced arcade style game of tag.

In the game, the goal is to have the most amount of points before the round ends. Each round lasts 2 minutes. Players who pick up the star - that randomly spawn around the map, becomes the tagger. The tagger's goal is to chase down other players in order to gain points. Players who are tagged lose a small portion of their points. Green orbs will spawn throughout the map that only non-taggers can pick up to keep the advantage over the tagger.
