THE FINAL PLAYGROUND
Fun having, unhinged, day-to-day lives of the Flippin Misfits, a band of renegade youths reigning at The Blank, a nearby trio of black holes. Aboard the Arkade, their stolen and repurposed starship, they’re issuing eachn other challenges, all crazier than the last. Their aim? To show off their skills and rub their awesomeness in everyone else’s faces! Using their allegedly stolen Blazarpack technology, the Flippin Misfits run around on the walls, ceilings, and even out there in empty space. Always on the lookout for odds and ends drifting into The Blank to modify their ship with. Over the years, the Arkade has been converted from a prison barge or was it a garbage tanker into the weirdest, deadliest, most amazing playground in the galaxy. So, buckle DOWN and forget what is UP, because we’re diving into the depth of Flippin Misfits.
HOW TO PLAY

- FLIP
- FIGHT
- FRATERNIZE
MOVEMENT
Running Around
Ah, but there’s a catch: you can run up walls and walk on ceilings. No matter where you want to go, there’s a good chance you can reach it by running toward it at full speed.
Looking Around
Your character will always face the direction you’re looking at. You’ll want to keep scanning the world around you for opponents since, you know, they can walk on the flippin ceilings.
Jumping Around
A little hop goes a long way when trying to avoid a rocketing opponent or some single-minded mines. Remember that you can jump off ledges at different angles to fall according to your current gravity’s orientation. It’s a bit confusing at first, but it’s a powerful traversal tool. Just don’t ask us how many times we lunged into oblivion ourselves.
Dashing
Got to get out of the way in a hurry? Then dashing’s for you. Whether you want to move faster toward your target, avoid an opponent careening toward you with a drawn weapon, or maybe you’re just falling a bit too far to the left. Dash Wait until opponents are close to you and then dash out of the way to break their lock on you. It’s that simple.
Pro tip
- You can dash to the sides AND while in the air.
- Don’t think, dash.
Troll tip
Dashing out of an attack is a nasty way to psych out your opponents.
Swapping Gravity
Using the revolutionary and illegal Blazarpack technology strapped to your back, you can reorient your own gravity to fit your whims. Up is down, right is left, and everybody’s falling with style. Watch where you’re headed though, since after swapping your Blazarpack will only reactivate after you’ve touched the ground or attacked someone. We’d hate to see you go in a poetic burst of flames at the edge of the atmosphere (but if you do, please send us the footage for meme making purposes.
Pro tip
Align your reticle with the surface you want to fall toward before activating
the Blazarpack and remember that you can still realign slightly while in the
air by moving around.
Hazards
Lava pools and flaming exhausts look beautiful, but drink the fire, and you’ll die. Also, watch out for the Stray Mines with their lovely doggy escort, they’ll kill you dead if you get too close. Oh, and you might want to steer clear from the speakers and balloons, they’re vibing hard Maybe a tad too intensely for your survival. Just just watch your step is all.
COMBAT
Attacking
So, they’ve insulted you, or your mama, and now’s the time to show them they should’ve kept their mouths shut? HIT THAT TRIGGER. When you initiate an attack, you’ll be locked onto your target and your Blazarpack will erupt, propelling you toward them at great speed. Keep them in your sight until you connect and show them who’s the boss.
Cancelling An Attack
Jumped the gun? A bit too aggro there? Oh no what have I done I am so going to get killed? Fear not, you may cancel an ongoing attack, giving you all the time to contemplate the fragility of existence.
Pro tip
Cancelling an attack only to trigger another right afterwards is what we call
a fakeout and it’s a naughty-but-nice move to pull.
Attack Ranges
To come out alive from a skirmish, you’ll need to either match your opponent’s range, causing a clash, OR to attack at shorter range, overpowering them with your nerves of steel.
Short Mid Far
Pro tip
Wait until the last possible second before reacting to an attack and you’ll be
a force to be reckoned with.
Tracking Opponents
The little gadget spinning around you is your threat tracker. It’ll appear whenever an opponent is aiming at you, letting you know where they’re coming from. So, when it turns on, make sure to either get out of the way, or turn around to face them and attack them head on.
Clashing
Sometimes when two people fight each other, it’s possible for them to attack with the same power, causing a clash. When clashing, everyone walks away scot- free, unless they get pushed back into a lava pool, or the deafening silence of space. It’s a normal thing, that happens to anyone, don’t feel ashamed by it. Revel in the bright lights of the clash and vow to forever slice and dice your enemies. You got this.
SOCIALIZING
Want to taunt the enemy? Maddened by a very clutch attack that killed you so the opponent must be cheating? Bonked back someone into a lava pool and you feel like they should know it’s making you laugh? Jump into the air and then FLIP OUT.

FAQ
ISEEM TO ALWAYS LOSE WHEN I ATTACK SOMEONE
Hey, it’s okay, it happens to the best of us. Twitchy fingers will get the
best of you in Flippin Misfits. You must remember that power increases at
close range. So let them come to you, bait them into making the first move,
and then, when they’re near, hit that attack button and bash them out of this
world! You might also want to be sneakier, creeping up on them from the back,
and then hitting them where the sun doesn’t shine… It’s all about getting
results. But remember they can see when you’re aiming at them, so act quickly.
KEEP THROWING MYSELF INTO SPACE
First, slow down. Take a bit of time to aim your gravity swap If the first tip
fails, spend some time in the Lobby’s tutorial room and try to Swap gravity
towards the numbered plates in sequence. Remember that you can move while in
the air to tweak your trajectory. It also means that you might want to refrain
from moving while swapping the first few times, so you’ll land where your
reticle was aiming at when you started. And if all else fails, try, retry, and
overcome. We believe in you.
INEVER GET TO PICK MODS FIRST. WHY DO YOU HATE ME?
It’s not personal, we assure you! The pick order for mods is based on the
round’s score. The lowest scoring player gets to pick first, and so on until
the round’s winner picks, last. The one exception to that rule is the first
Mods pick, which uses a random order. So, you see, you’re not picking first
because you’re doing good. Keep at it.
