# Game Modes

In the StarHeroes game, there are three types of gameplay:

## 1. Ranked gameplay

In the main menu, on the right side, there's a button labeled “Play Ranked.” Clicking this button initiates the search for allies and opponents to play a ranked game in StarPush mode.

Points for the leaderboard and items can only be earned in Ranked mode.

***

## 2. Custom gameplay

Below the “Play Ranked” button is the “Custom” button. Clicking it allows you to select “Custom” mode, where you can create or join existing games in either StarPush or Team Deathmatch mode.

***

## 3. Training gameplay

After clicking the “Custom” button, you can also choose the “Training” option. In Training mode, you can practice with bots to prepare for real matches.

Keep in mind that the "Custom" and "Training" modes DO NOT contribute to accumulating points on the leaderboard!
