Controls to learn before your first round
CheckThe game runs on any device, but the sprint button differs by platform. On PC you hold Shift to sprint, and on console you press L2. Basic movement uses the arrow keys or your analog stick depending on your setup.
- PC sprint hold Shift while moving to accelerate
- Console sprint press L2 to pick up speed
- Basic movement arrow keys on PC, analog stick on console
How a round works
StepEach round begins when the music and platforms start moving. You have until the music stops to get inside the correct room. If the music cuts out while you are still outside, you are eliminated. Rounds get harder as you progress.
- Music starts this is your signal that the round has begun and you need to move
- Reach the room before the music stops standing inside when silence hits keeps you in the game
- Repeat each new round raises the difficulty, so stay focused
Why later rounds are harder
TableThe first rounds are straightforward and designed to let you get used to the flow. As rounds progress, the instructions become more complex, the timing tightens, and the room's safe zone can be stricter.
| Early rounds | simple cues, generous timing, good for learning the format |
| Later rounds | more complex instructions, stricter safe-zone boundaries, shorter windows |
Free-to-play and fair competition
SummaryThe full game is playable without spending anything. There are no paid items that give one player a movement edge over another.
