Early on you're small and vulnerable, so hunt the tiniest cars and the monsters first to build mass before you pick any real fights. Keep one eye on the arena walls at all times; clipping a boundary while chasing prey is a common way to lose your run. Once you're mid-sized, use your bulk to corner smaller rivals against the edges where they can't escape. Never charge a car clearly larger than you, back off, grow more, and come back, because size advantage decides almost every collision.

It delivers the classic snowball-growth thrill, starting as easy prey and ending as the menace everyone flees from, but with the visceral crunch of car-on-car impacts and flashy collision bursts. Sixteen competitors keep the arena chaotic and the stakes high, while the monsters add a risk-reward layer beyond just chasing other players. Matches are short and instantly restartable, so the loop of grow, dominate, wipe out, repeat keeps pulling you back for another go.
