Pick how you fly. The lobby waits.
CLASHROIDS supports keyboard + mouse, mouse-only, keyboard-only, and full controller. On-screen prompts show fire and ability binds for your class once you drop. Free in browser. Wishlist on Steam.
Input schemes
Simple
Mouse-only or keyboard-only
Drop the dual-hand setup if you want a lighter first session. Same lobby, fewer binds to learn.
Steam
Full controller
Controller support is listed on the Steam page. Plug in, follow the on-screen ability prompts for your class.
Mobile
On-screen stick + buttons
Browser play on phone or tablet uses virtual controls. Landscape feels best when hex fights heat up.
What the HUD teaches
- Fire and ability binds appear for your class once you drop — no spreadsheet required.
- Respawn screen: swap Interceptor, Vanguard, or Bastion mid-session.
- Boost and Energy Shield turn fights: burn energy to dash or soak hits.
- Same controls across FFA, Team Clash, and Domination — win conditions change, inputs do not.
First-minute loop
- Smash a few asteroids for scrap and power-ups.
- Paint one hex so you own ground, not just kills.
- Drop a turret on claimed ground, then spend scrap mid-fight.
- When someone asks “how do I play?”, send this page + Play free.
