Gameplay
How do I play?
A duel is a battle of wits fought in four stages:
- Select your arena and volatile asset - Choose from various markets like cryptocurrencies, stocks, or commodities
- Choose your leverage multiplier (1x-100x) - Amplify both potential profits and losses
- Predict price movement - Go LONG if you predict a price increase or SHORT if you predict a drop
- Deploy your abilities strategically - Use Overclock, Freeze, Smoke Screen, and Overtime to gain a tactical advantage
Each decision matters as you race against time to outmaneuver your opponent in this high-stakes trading duel!
How does the matchmaking system work?
Our matchmaking system pairs players of similar skill levels to ensure fair and competitive duels. We use a proprietary algorithm that considers factors like win/loss ratio, recent performance, and skill rating to create balanced matches. You can also challenge specific friends directly through our social features.
What are the different game modes?
We offer several game modes to suit different play styles: Standard (balanced duels), High-Stakes (bigger risks and rewards), and Blitz (frantic, fast-paced action). Each mode offers unique challenges and rewards, allowing you to diversify your trading strategy and climb multiple leaderboards.
How do abilities work in Terminal Velocity?
Each player starts with four powerful abilities that can dramatically shift the momentum of a duel when used strategically:
Overclock
Doubles your current leverage for 5 seconds
Freeze
Locks opponent out of trading for 5 seconds
Smoke Screen
Hides opponent's balance and PNL for 5 seconds
Overtime
Extends the duel by 20 seconds
Mastering these abilities is key to outmaneuvering your opponents!
Economy & Progression
What is the in-game economy?
Terminal Velocity features a dual-currency economy: Creds (standard in-game currency earned by winning duels and completing Battle Pass tiers) and Quantum Cores (premium currency available from the Battle Pass or purchase). Both currencies can be used to buy items in the store, including avatars, emotes, titles, and more.
How does the Battle Pass work?
Our seasonal Battle Pass progression system unlocks exclusive rewards, cosmetics, and boosts as you play and earn XP. Each season introduces new themed items and challenges. Players can purchase the Premium Battle Pass for additional rewards and faster progression. The Battle Pass resets each season, giving everyone a fresh start.
