ABOUT THE GAME
Handslap game overview
Once the level is active, Handslap divides two players into attacker and defender. Red begins by striking, while Blue tries to withdraw before contact and earn the role change. The session asks players to land successful slaps and become the first player to score ten points. Commit to a slap, read the defensive reaction, and swap sides after a clean dodge. The first player to ten successful attacks wins. While progress continues, each clean attack adds one point, while a successful dodge swaps roles. One constraint shapes the ten-point attack-and-dodge hand duel: The player who allows the opponent to reach ten points loses the match.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before you start
The rules create short tests of nerve rather than continuous movement. Attack too predictably and the hand escapes; dodge too early and the opponent can adjust.
GETTING STARTED
How to play Handslap
Use the key or screen half assigned to your side. As attacker, vary the pause before striking; as defender, react to the committed motion.
Track the score and role after every exchange because a successful dodge changes who attacks next. Keep attention on the hand rather than tapping rhythmically. Keep the advancing sequence in view: Each clean attack adds one point, while a successful dodge swaps roles.
CONTROLS
Controls and device setup
Tap your half of the screen to attack or dodge on mobile; on desktop the two players use W and Up Arrow.

Tips for Handslap
- Vary attack timing so the defender cannot dodge from a fixed rhythm.
- Wait for a genuine strike motion instead of withdrawing at every small cue.
- Confirm the role swap after a dodge before making the next input.
