Hold either Alt, type the four-digit Babo code using the number row or number pad, then release Alt. These are the complete 32 special characters built into the Babo font. They intentionally differ from standard Windows Alt codes; for example, Alt+0155 produces ø in BaboViolent.
For characters outside this Babo-specific range, see the standard Alt Codes reference. Unsupported glyphs will not appear in the Babo font.
Aim with the mouse. Your Babo rolls independently of the direction you are aiming, so strafe, retreat, and lead moving targets.
Arrow keys also work.
Fire your primary weapon. Hold for automatic weapons.
Throw a grenade when one is available.
Throw a Molotov when one is available.
Use knives, shield, or your selected secondary item.
Collect a nearby dropped weapon or item.
These controls remain available while you play. Movement, melee, and pickup bindings can be changed under Options.
Server names identify their mode. Champion servers exclusively rotate CHP maps.
Take the enemy flag back to your own flag pod. Your own flag must be home to score.
Red and blue race to the score limit. Work angles together and avoid friendly clustering.
Every other player is an enemy. The first player to the score limit wins.
Everyone is an enemy. The upper clock is total match time; the lower clock is a three-minute mini-round. At each mini-round reset, projectiles are cleared and every player receives a fresh spawn assignment.
