# Game Modes

NI-KA features multiple game modes built to test your reflexes, steering control, and strategies.

## 🏃 Single Player Campaigns (Speed Run)

Race against the clock across three handcrafted campaigns. Your rank rises as you conquer each stage:

{% step %}

## Pleb Realm (Levels 1-10)

* *Unlock:* Completing Level 10 unlocks the official **LAD** rank badge and title.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Lad Realm (Levels 1-30)

* *Goal:* Guide your ship along tighter curves and challenges.
* *Features:* Standard physics & medium-length tracks (50m - 1500m).

  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Chad Realm (Levels 1-30)

* *Goal:* The ultimate level challenge to prove your master status.
* *Features:* Hardcore twists & extreme distance tracks (2200m - 8000m).
* Clearing Level 30 certifies your master status on the leaderboard.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

## ♾️ Endless Mode

An infinite procedural track where the only goal is to survive as long as possible:

* **Dynamic Twists:** The road automatically adds corkscrew loops, gaps, and sharp bends as your distance rises.
* **Difficulty:** Select between **PLEB**, **LAD**, and **CHAD** settings to scale speeds and obstacles.

## 📅 Daily Challenges (Chad or Lad)

Compete on equal ground against the global community for SOL rewards:

* **Bi-Weekly Tracks:** The track layout is generated on a bi-weekly cycle, ensuring a fresh challenge every two weeks.
* **Daily Attempt:** You get exactly **one daily chance** to conquer the track and post your best time.
* **Standardized Play:** Shop upgrades are disabled. Everyone races at the same base speed and starts with exactly **3 lives** per run, ensuring pure steering skill decides the winner.
* **SOL Rewards:** The single fastest player (exactly 1 winner) is rewarded directly on-chain in SOL.

## 🛣️ Solana Highway

A weekly challenge for competitive players competing for on-chain rewards:

* **Entry Fee:** Costs **100 Galaxy Coins** to play a run.
* **Weekly Cycle:** The track changes on a weekly cycle, tracking players' fastest completion times.
* **Skill-Only Rules:** Speed boosters are disabled. Only your base permanent ship upgrades and skin modifiers count, ensuring clean control decides the top rank.
* **SOL Rewards:** The single fastest weekly player (exactly 1 winner) is rewarded directly in SOL.

## ☄️ Asteroids Mode

An extreme survival challenge where the void is filled with high-frequency falling meteors. Dodging is your only way to survive.

## 🤖 Solo Chad Chase (Bot Battles)

Battle a smart AI bot opponent on a 1500m to 3000m track:

* **Random Roles:** Each run randomly assigns your role:
  * **LAD (Chaser):** Catch the running CHAD bot before the finish line!
  * **CHAD (Runner):** Keep the chasing LAD bot behind you and reach the finish line first! Crossing the finish line as the CHAD runner unlocks the prestigious **MAIN CHARACTER** badge.
* **AI Control:** Select bot difficulties between **PLEB**, **LAD**, and **CHAD**. The bot will actively target speed boosts and dodge obstacles.
* **Triggers:** Collect orange speed boosts to accelerate, or grab purple asteroid triggers to spawn meteors directly in front of the bot. Watch out, the bot will bombard you back!
* **Clutch God Badge:** Win a run as the Chad runner and cross the finish line with the chasing bot less than 15 meters behind you to unlock the **CLUTCH GOD** badge.

## 🌀 Beginnings (Warp Mode)

"Three realms. One run. No mercy." Survive a 5000m run that warps your ship between visual styling dimensions:

* **Realm 1 (0m to 3,000m):** Standard cartoon cel-shaded look.
* **Realm 2 (3,000m to 3,500m):** Passing through the first portal warps you into a dimension of **Realistic Materials** (no cartoon outlines) and realistic planet shaders.
* **Realm 3 (3,500m to 5,000m):** The final portal warps you back to standard toon shading with max speed limits engaged.
* *Portal Rewards:* Passing through warp gates spawns an Extra Life to help you survive.

## 👥 Co-op Mode (Coming Soon)

* **Status:** Disabled on the main menu (marked as "Coming Soon").
* **Concept:** A WebRTC local peer-to-peer connection mode where two players share control of a single vehicle. Player 1 controls the left engine (**NI**) and Player 2 controls the right engine (**KA**).
