Tag
TAG is a game of catch played by multiple players locally! Take on your friends one-on-one, two-on-two, or three-on-three as you chase them around three different levels! A sneaky teleport can be used only once before disappearing so you can mislead the chaser and waste their time as well as shortcuts you can use to bounce yourself up and away from the chaser!

Tag Game Tips
The objective of Tag is quite simple – tag your opponents and avoid being tagged yourself. Having said that, you can still improve your skills and become more proficient at the Tag Game with a few simple tips.
Keep on the high ground
Every single map contains platforms that can be jumped off of, either onto the ground or onto another platform. Keep the high ground so that you can always drop down when necessary or stay on the higher platforms as long as you have the option to do so.
Move in midair
There is likely to be a considerable amount of jumping involved when you attempt to evade or chase your enemies. Among the unique characteristics of Tag is the ability to make small adjustments in midair after jumping. If you were jumping to the right, and realized that you needed to move left, you may have started moving left. The ability to use this to gain an advantage is one of the most important aspects of Tag.
Use jumping tokens
In the course of a Tag game, it is not uncommon for a token to appear on the map with an arrow pointing upward. When you collect this token, you will be able to jump higher than normal, allowing you to jump significantly higher than the other players. As a result, you gain a distinct advantage over your competitors that you can use to your advantage.
