How to Play
Swipeloot is a fast-paced multiplayer game. Treasure and traps appear on screen — swipe across treasures to collect them and score points. Every treasure you grab refills your life bar. Avoid the traps — tapping a trap drains your life.
Swipe across multiple treasures in one motion for combo multipliers. The faster you react, the better your score. If another player grabs a treasure before you, it's gone.
Life Bar
Your life bar drains continuously throughout each round. Grabbing any treasure refills it to full. If your life bar hits zero, you're knocked out for the rest of that round.
The drain rate increases in later rounds, so you need to keep grabbing treasures to survive. In early rounds you can afford to be selective; in later rounds, grab everything you can.
Rounds
Each round lasts 60 seconds. Rounds get progressively harder — items move faster, traps appear more often, and your life drains quicker. The game continues until all players are knocked out in the same round.
Between rounds, a scoreboard shows everyone's scores. Tap "Ready" when you're prepared for the next round.
Traps
Traps look different from treasures — learn to tell them apart quickly. Tapping a trap drains a large chunk of your life bar. Traps don't affect your score, but the life drain can knock you out.
Special Items
Special items appear as the rounds progress. Each one is a trade-off — learn when to use them.
- Cauliflower — restores your life but reduces your score. Play when your life is low and there's no treasure within reach.
- Raspberry — removes all treasures from the screen, leaving only traps. Play when your opponent's life is low and you want to finish them off.
- Alien — steals points from all opponents and gives them to you, but drains most of your life. Play when there's a treasure you can swipe right away to restore the life the alien drains.
- Tomato — increases your life beyond 100% but splats over your screen so you can't see for a couple of seconds. Play when your life is low and you can't reach any treasure.
- Snowflake — freezes all opponents' screens for two seconds. Play when you don't want to share the on-screen treasure.
- Energy Orb — used to re-enter play when you're knocked out. Grab it whenever you see one — before your opponents do.
Energy Orbs
Energy orbs are your second chance. If you're knocked out during a round, you can spend one orb to rejoin the next round with a full life bar. You start with 20 free orbs and can collect more during gameplay or purchase orb packs from the in-game shop.
Scoring
Each treasure type has a different base value, from common coins to rare items worth much more. Scores scale up in later rounds — the same treasure is worth more in round 10 than in round 1. Swipe combos multiply your score for each consecutive treasure in a single swipe.
Game Modes
- Play with Strangers — match with up to 10 players worldwide. Choose your preferred player count and difficulty. If not enough players are available, bots fill the remaining slots.
- Play with Friends — create a private room and share the 4-letter code with friends. 2-8 players per room.
- Play Alone — just you, no competitors. Choose easy, medium, or hard difficulty and see how long you can last.
Requesting an Orb (Friend Games)
In friend games, if you're knocked out and have no energy orbs, you can ask another player to sell you one in exchange for 15% of your score. If no one accepts, the game goes on without you.
