User guide
How to play
Basics:
- To play, you are required to connect to the dedicated faintRedux server (jj-serv), where you can face up to 8 players on a map.
- Also, the maps are editable and extensible for 3D modeling enthusiasts.
Leveling:
- Every kill is +4 to your experience points.
- Every death is a -1 to your experience points.
- 100 Experience points = 1 Level.
Dimensions/Maps:
- There is 8 players max per map, so after a map gets filled, a new dimension is created to hold new set.
- To switch dimensions, one needs to enter and leave a map.
- To get to the lobby, walk south in the Jungle to a little entrance.
