is a top down stealth based shooter played in rounds.

Controls:

Gameplay:
-You begin the game with 10 bullets.  Bullets recharge slowly over time when you're not shooting.  Beware however, that shooting will reveal your position to all your enemies.
-Every 35 seconds, all real players will be highlighted along with 3 decoys.  Even if there are more players in the game, exactly 3 decoys will always be highlighted.
-If you manage to kill a real player, your range will be increased indicated by your range ring getting larger.   
-When a player dies, their name will grey out in the upper left corner.   When all other players are dead, you win the round.  First to four wins the match.

Strategy:

-Try to pick off opponents near powerups and then grab them for yourself.  Get a kill and then use a stealth powerup to fade back into the crowd.
-Some combat powerups like shotgun and rapid fire have insane power.  Prioritize getting them at all costs.
