About Friction

Friction is a fast-paced arcade style game of tag.In the game, the goal is to have the most amount of points before the round ends. Each round lasts 2 minutes. Players who pick up the star, that randomly spawn around the map, becomes the tagger. The taggers goal is to chase down other players in order to gain points. Players who are tagged lose a small portion of their points. Green orbs will spawn throughout the map that only non-taggers can pick up to keep the advantage over the tagger.
