[How to Get OWT] · [Wallet Setup Guide] · [Return to OrbitWar]

Kill enemies. Earn OWT. The better you play, the more you earn.

OrbitWar is a multiplayer space shooter where every human kill pays out real crypto. You buy in with 1 OWT (OrbitWar Token on Base). Every time you destroy a human player, you earn 0.3333 OWT from the prize pool. Skilled players go net-positive — kill 3 humans and you've already earned your buy-in back. Your session only ends when a human player kills you, so you can keep racking up kills.

💀 Kill 1 human = earn 0.3333 OWT | Kill 3 humans = earn back your 1 OWT buy-in

Your First Game — Step by Step

New to crypto? Start here. Experienced? Skip to step 3.

Step 1 Connect your wallet. You need MetaMask (desktop) or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet (mobile: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet). Click "Connect Wallet" in the game dialog.

Step 2 Get OWT on Aerodrome. You need at least 1 OWT to play. Swap ETH for OWT on Aerodrome (Base network).

Step 3 Buy In (costs 1 OWT). Click "Buy In (1 OWT)" in the game dialog. You'll confirm 1–2 MetaMask transactions (approve OWT, then join). This puts your 1 OWT into the prize pool and opens your session.

Step 4 Hunt human players (blue dots on the leaderboard). The leaderboard shows players online. Blue names = human players. Bot ships don't earn you OWT — only human kills do.

Step 5 Earn 0.3333 OWT per human kill. Your OWT balance updates live in the dialog. Watch your "OWT Earned" counter climb. Kill 3 humans and you're already even on your buy-in.

Step 6 When you die (killed by a human), click "Play Again". Your earnings are automatically cashed out to your wallet. Buy in again to keep going. Dying to asteroids or bots doesn't end your session — only a human kill does.

Tip: You can disconnect and reconnect without losing your session. If you close the tab and come back, reconnect your wallet — your session will still be active from where you left off.

Touch: On-screen controls appear on mobile. Use joystick areas on the left and right of the screen.

Team Play

Same team tag = same team. Coordinate with friends to dominate the map.

Set a 2-character team tag in the setup dialog (e.g. XY). Anyone using the same tag joins your team — you can't hurt each other, you share kill rewards, and you can see cloaked teammates. Coordinate in a group chat, pile kills on the same target, and climb the leaderboard together.

Team kills split OWT rewards between the killer and alive teammates. With 1 teammate: killer gets 0.22 OWT, teammate gets 0.11 OWT. More teammates = smaller individual share, but you all survive longer.

The Math

Bottom line: Kill 3 humans and you've earned back your 1 OWT buy-in. Kill more and you profit.

0 kills net: −1.000 OWT just bought in

1 kill net: −0.667 OWT getting there

2 kills net: −0.333 OWT almost even

3 kills net: 0.000 OWT break even

5 kills net: +0.667 OWT profit

10 kills net: +2.333 OWT strong session

Session earnings cap at 10 OWT. Each kill earns 0.3333 OWT solo (split with alive teammates on a team). Your session continues until a human player kills you.

Gameplay Notes

You are invincible for the first 10 seconds after entering — or until you move or fire. Use this to orient yourself.
Shoot asteroids to recharge your shield. A full shield makes you far harder to kill.
Your session survives disconnects, asteroids, and bots. Only a human player kill ends it — so reconnecting is free.
Grab super weapons floating on the map (colored photons): green = homing shots, purple = plasma bomb, yellow = cloaking device, red = mega shield, cyan = electro mine.
The battlefield wraps around — fly far enough in one direction and you'll come back from the other side.
