Step
This game requires exactly two players. The opening tutorial teaches both guns, so treat it seriously rather than rushing through it.
- Find a partner recruit a friend before joining, because the game does not progress without two players.
- Run the tutorial use it to learn how to switch between the Portal Gun and the Physics Gun and to understand what each one does.
- Expect the difficulty to climb the game starts manageable but each stage gets noticeably harder than the last.

What each gun actually does
Table
Every obstacle in the game is designed around one or both guns. Some puzzles can only be solved by the player holding a specific gun, so it helps to understand the difference before you hit a wall.
| Portal Gun | creates an entrance and an exit that link two locations, letting players or objects teleport between them. |
| Physics Gun | grabs, moves, and rotates objects in the environment to clear a path or trigger a mechanism. |
| Combined use | many obstacles require both guns working at the same time, so one player acts while the other sets up. |
