- Start moving the tsunami begins chasing you immediately, so never stand still.
- Jump obstacles clear each one and keep your rhythm.
- Reach the goal touching the end counts as a win and completes the stage.
- Collect your pet after your first clear you receive a pet that raises your movement speed.
- Run it again a second playthrough lets you notice which spots tripped you up the first time.

Building speed with pets
TipsPets are the primary tool for improving your speed across every run. You earn them by winning stages.
- Win a stage to pick up a pet and raise your speed.
- You do not need to spend Robux — all pets are earned through normal play.
Getting past the hard spots
Check
Falling in the same place repeatedly is a signal you can learn from. Running the stage multiple times with that section in mind helps progress.
- Note the spot where you fall if it happens in the same place every run, that section needs focused practice.
- Check your pet count if you have very few pets, farming an easier stage for more pets before retrying can help.
- Try a different stage briefly if frustration is hurting your focus, then come back fresh.
Unlocking new worlds
SummaryEach world unlocks by winning stages. Later worlds raise the difficulty, expecting both higher speed and more precise jumping.
- New worlds unlocked by winning stages, not by any purchase.
- Difficulty curve each new world demands more accuracy and faster reactions than the last.
Climbing the leaderboard
TipsThe leaderboard tracks wins, speed, and clear times against every other player.
- Collect more pets to raise your speed, which directly shortens your clear time.
