This is Jellyfish Fields, where wild jellyfish roam just waiting to be captured. The team that captures the most jellyfish wins!
Players capture the jellyfish by walking over them, and then holding it for 5 seconds During this period, if defeated, the player will drop the jellyfish.

Once a jellyfish has been collected, they can’t be dropped anymore.
Every time the player picks up another jellyfish the 5 second timer will reset. So make sure to balance capturing and collecting!
