Getting into a run
Step
When you load in, you wait for your partner to join before anything begins. Once both of you are in the lobby, check that your screens look the same — you should see each other at the same position. Only then should you move toward the course together.
- Wait for your partner the game does not start with only one player present.
- Check positions confirm you can both see each other standing in the same spot before moving.
- Move as one walk into the course at the same time so neither player is ahead of the other from the very first step.
- If your partner leaves mid-run, your session ends and you return to the start, so agree before you begin that you will both stay until the finish.

Communicating before each obstacle
TipsThe course includes jump pads, lava crossings, and traps that move on a pattern. Rushing any of them without a shared signal almost always ends the run. Taking a few seconds to talk — through chat or voice — before each section turns a chaotic attempt into a clean one.
- Stop just before a new section starts so you have time to look at what is coming.
- Count down out loud — saying '3, 2, 1, jump' gives both players the same launch moment.
- Watch a moving trap for at least one full cycle before you commit to crossing it.
- Check the width of lava platforms before stepping onto them so neither of you misjudges a landing.
Breaking out of a stuck spot
CheckA short pause and a quick conversation almost always reveals which one it is.
- Pull back to the nearest safe area so you are not under pressure while you talk it through.
- Try shifting your standing position relative to your partner before the next attempt.
Keeping the run fun
TipsReaching the end of the course together feels like a genuine shared achievement — the colorful stages and cooperative format are built for that payoff. Getting there requires as much patience as skill.
- Praise your partner when they nail a hard section.
- After a fall, say something encouraging before the next attempt.
- Match your pace to the slower player.
- Use chat actively — a short message before a tricky jump is worth more than silence.
