Environments

Environments, also called game modes or game settings by some players, are apparent as soon as a new round begins. Specific tests are applied on either the players, plates, or the entire game that correspond with the environment that is chosen. Some environments can benefit players, such as Bamboo Forest, while others can devastate them, like Small Plates. Environments can also be stacked to create different combinations. In a later update to Lab Experiment, 2 maps were added as environments: Sharkbyte HQ and Sandy Isle.
