How to play
Bonk.io is a multiplayer battle royale played with round characters. You customize your circle however you like, then fight up to three other people on one of hundreds of maps that players have made themselves. The goal is to be the last one standing, and you get there by surviving an environment that keeps shifting or by pushing your rivals from the screen. Matches stay small, so every shove and every bit of weight you add can decide who stays in the round and who drops out.
Controls explained
Movement is the main thing you manage. The developer lists two inputs: move, and make yourself heavier by holding a key. Use movement to position your circle and to push against other players. Holding to add weight changes how you handle in a shove, so treat it as a tool you switch on and off rather than something you keep pressed the whole time.
Tips
- Hold the heavier key when you are about to meet another circle, so your extra weight works in the push.
- Let go of the heavier key when you need to move around the map quickly.
- Watch the edges of the screen. Pushing a rival off is one way to remove them from the round.
- Keep an eye on the shifting environment, since the ground and hazards around you can change mid-match.
- Play a few maps to learn their layouts before you count on any single spot to stand on.
