This page is about how to play, and how the game works.
Contro, you are a circle with some sort of hat. You are always holding some kind of weapon. Swordz.io is a mouse - pointer game, so wherever your mouse goes, your player follows. You can do a short dash the Right-Click on the mouse. If you hold it down it will continue to repeated short dashes. Pressing the Left-Click will make your player swing their weapon. It will always swing in a 180 degrees semicircle. The game not all that difficult to control, so you should be able to get the hang of i
pretty quickly.

Swords
Your Sword is the object that sticks out of the side of your player. Swords get longer as you progress through the game, thus making it possible to defeat more opponents. To use your sword, simply click the left mouse button. Swords look different between each evolution. To see what different kinds of swords there are, go to the Evolutions page.
Obstacles
There are 2 different obstacles in Swordz.io. These include Rocks and Ponds. They are different colors depending on the biome. Obstacles vary in size, as some are larger than others.
Rocks: Rocks come in many different colors. They are widespread throughout the map. Rocks always have a Black border around them. This means that you cannot go on top of them. However, if you spawn and you have shield, you may go on the rocks.
Ponds: There are 5 different colors of ponds in Swordz.io. Ponds allow more free movement. They make you turn quicker, and you go slightly faster than you would if you were on the normal ground.
Safe Zones
There are 5 safe zones on the map. They are barked as an orange dot on the minimap. There is always one safe zone in each biome. The safe zones allow a player to be protected from other players, because you cannot swing your sword in a safe zone.
Game Modes
There are 2 different game modes in Swordz.io. They both use different styles of gameplay.
Food Chain
Food chain is a mode where the higher players dominate the game. Essentially, the higher you are, the more levels you can kill. Example: If you were a Barbarian, you can kill Knights and Nymphs. If you were a Berzerker, you can kill all levels 1-17. You cannot kill players higher than you.
PVP
PVP is a mode in which everybody can kill everybody. If you hit someone, then they are dead. If they hit you, then you are dead. It is still an advantage to have a longer sword though, because it makes it easier to win fights.
Talk
Talking is a feature that enables a player to communicate with another player. You can talk by pressing the ENTER key, and then typing whatever. People generally talk while they are in a safe zone, because then they can talk without worrying about being killed all the time.
