Four fighters, one set of rules
Pick the look you like. Every fighter has the same health, speed and jump, so a win is down to how you play, not who you picked.
-
Aoi
Gothic lace and a pink side-tail — looks sweet, pushes first.
-
Noah
Oversized hoodie, hands never in the pockets for long.
-
Hana
Long skirt, bow on top, dressed up for every fight.
-
Servo
Factory test dummy that walked off the line and kept going.
Pick your fighter and your team colours in the game. Other players see them in every match.
Three rooms and a park, fought from the floor
Everyday places at toy height. Books become forts, a cutting board becomes a bridge, the space under the workbench is where the close fights happen, and out in the park the sandbox is a crater.
Playground Panic New
The first fight outdoors, under the giant bench. Take the slide tower and the bucket perch, or flank by the swings and the block fort.
Bedroom Blitz
Book Fort against Shoebox Fort. Hold the Block Castle, or flank by the train and the race track.
Kitchen Clash
Cereal-box forts on a tiled floor. Fight over the cutting-board bridge, or go round through the tins.
Garage Gauntlet
Toolbox forts in a garage. Hold the workbench top, or brawl in the paint-can cave underneath.
Seven weapons, one per key
Everyone carries the full kit. Switch with the number keys, and pick the right tool for the range you're fighting at.
Modes
- Team Takedown

- 1
FANG
Combat knife. Charge a heavy lunge, and it gives you a double jump.
- 2
ARC
Dependable full-auto rifle. Hold alt-fire to steady the spread.
- 3
KICK
Pump shotgun. Brutal up close, and it reloads shell by shell.
- 4
PIN
Bolt-action marksman rifle with a scope. Shots crack across the map.
- 5
BELT
Belt-fed machine gun. Heavy, loud, and it doesn't stop.
- 6
COMET
Rocket launcher. Big splash, or blast yourself up to the high ground.
- 7
PLONK
Toy grenade launcher. Lob a bouncy round over cover — it pops on contact or on its fuse.

It's free, and it's early: you'll find rough edges, and what you say after each match shapes what gets fixed next.
Create your account
Then play
- Download the setup and run it. It shows the Terms, tells you what it installs and where, and lets you pick the folder. The launcher then fetches the game and keeps it up to date.
- Sign in with the account you just made.
- Press Play and find a match. If nobody's on yet, bots fill the empty seats.
- Join the Discord to find people to play with. Playtest times are announced there, with the time zone.
Windows will warn you. The setup isn't code-signed yet, so Windows calls it an "Unknown publisher" and SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway. It installs to your own user folder by default and never asks for administrator rights.
To check your copy is ours, its SHA-256 should be

Questions
Is it free?
Yes. There's no shop and nothing to buy. Every fighter and every weapon is there from the start.
Why do I need an account?
ToyBreak is played online. Your account keeps your skill rating, level and match history, and it lets us keep cheaters and bans attached to a person instead of a computer.
I've never played. Where do I start?
Play > TRAINING. Ten stations on a night-time playroom course walk you through moving, jumping, dashing, shooting, the scope, rocket jumps and the knife's double jump, then a first fight against two easy bots. About three minutes. Offline practice against bots is on the same screen.
What about cheating?
The game servers decide every hit, every takedown and every score, and they check every move. Your computer only sends what you pressed. Cheaters get banned, and every ban is logged with who made it and why.
What should I expect from the alpha?
- It's an experiment. Expect bugs, balance changes and the odd server restart. Ratings, levels and match history may be reset before a full release.
- Bots fill empty seats. Matches start with whoever is there; most people play at the scheduled playtests announced on the Discord.
- Joining late. If a match is already running when you queue, you take over a bot's seat in it instead of waiting for the next one. If every seat is taken, the queue waits and puts you in the next match (it tells you roughly when); cancel any time.
- Not there yet: a friends list, Mac and Linux. Parties and match chat are in (Enter to talk to everyone, Y for your team, /mute name to hide someone).
- Anti-cheat: the servers decide every hit, so speed and teleport cheats don't work, and you only receive the positions of players you could plausibly see or hear. Nothing stops an aimbot yet: report anyone suspicious from the results screen. Accounts need a confirmed email to play.
- Help: staff are around during playtests and answer the Discord and email within a few days otherwise.
How do I play with friends?
Make a party: Play > Online > CREATE PARTY, then share the six-letter code (the Discord's #looking-for-group is a good place). Friends type it under PARTY and press JOIN. Up to four of you, and when the leader presses Find Match everyone lands in the same match, on the same team in team modes.
What happens if ToyBreak shuts down?
We'd announce it in the game, here and on the Discord first, then delete accounts as the Privacy Policy describes. It's our intention to release the game's own source code if the official team ever stops running it, so the community could keep it going. That's a plan, not a promise in the Terms: some bundled art and sound is licensed to us only and couldn't be included.
Mac or Linux?
Windows only for now.
How do I delete my account?
Sign in on My account and delete it there. It's gone at once; past scoreboards keep the numbers without your name. The Privacy Policy says exactly what we keep.
I found a bug.
Rate the match on the results screen and tell us what happened — every note gets read — or use /bug in the Discord. Settings > Credits has a button that opens the game's log folder; attach the newest log. For anything else (a ban you want to appeal, an account problem), email miguel@19877.tech.
