How to play
Move, shoot and block to outscore the other side before the timer expires. Pumping fakes the shot, and a dash gets you past a defender who has committed.

DriftBoss Tips
01Pump first. Most opponents jump at the first shot motion, and then the lane is open.
02Save the super shot for when you are behind by one score, not the moment it charges.
03On defence, stay grounded until they commit. Jumping early gives up the drive.
04The dash is a double-tap, not a separate key — use it to break a stalemate at the top.

FAQ
How do two people play on one keyboard?
Player 1 uses WASD with B and V; player 2 uses the arrow keys with L and K. No extra setup is needed.
What is the super shot?
A charged shot on V (or K for player 2) that is far harder to block. It needs to build up before use.
How do I dash?
Double-tap the direction key — D twice for player 1, Left arrow twice for player 2.
How long is a match?
Matches are on a timer, and the side ahead when it hits zero wins.
