What's new
New things in Flag Wars, newest first.
14 October 2026
Gems, better bombs and easy phone controls
- 💎
Gems on the map
Shiny diamonds now appear in random places. Walk over one to pick it up and keep it until you need it. Press R (or tap 💎 on your phone) to use it. You can hold one gem at a time.
- 🎨
Paint splash
Throw it in front of you. Where it lands, the paint splashes and all that land becomes yours — even strong enemy land.
- ⚡
Shockwave
A ring of lightning around you. It cuts every enemy trail it touches.
- ❄️
Freeze
Enemies close to you can't move for 2 seconds. A great moment to cut them!
- 💣
New flag-bombs
Bombs don't blow up right away any more. They land, a red circle shows where they will hit, and the fuse burns for about a second. The blast is bigger now, but you can run away if you are fast!
- 🪝
A better hook
The hook is easier to aim now: it catches anyone in a wider line in front of you. A caught enemy is pulled to you on a chain — you can see them being dragged. It can grab crates and gems too.
- 👀
See who got you
When you die, the game shows what happened — cut, bomb, shockwave or out of breath. Then the camera follows the player who got you. If they die too, the camera stops there.
- 🕹️
One-hand phone controls
On phones the joystick is now on from the start. Blaze, bomb, hook and your gem sit around it, so you can play with one thumb. Left-handed? Tap ✋ to move everything to the left.
- 🏆
New leaderboards on phones
Tap 🏆 at the top to see the best players, countries and records on a big, easy-to-read screen. Tap ✕ to go back to the game.
- 🌍
Your country first
The first time you play, the game picks the country you are playing from. You can still change it.
- 📋
Clearer screen
The texts at the top are easier to read: your share of the map, your score and what each bonus zone gives your country.
- 🚀
Smoother game
The game runs smoother and uses less battery.
