Getting into a game
Step
The game requires exactly two players at all times. You can either join with a friend or wait in the lobby to be matched with someone. Once both players are in, spend a moment experimenting with the controls before tackling the first stage.
- Find your partner invite a friend directly or wait in the lobby for a match.
- Pick your control style keyboard and mouse, or a controller both work fine.
- Try grabbing grab your partner's arm or leg to feel how stretching works.
- Try riding step onto your partner's body to see how it can move you to higher spots.
Core mechanics: grabbing, stretching, and riding
Tips
The three actions below are everything the game asks of you.
- Grab a partner's arm or leg and pull it toward whatever you need to reach.
- Stretch a limb across a gap to interact with something too far away to touch normally.
- Stand on your partner's shoulders or back to reach platforms above you.
- Watch your partner's position with the camera — losing track of them stalls progress immediately.
- If your partner falls, reset together rather than pushing ahead alone.
Puzzle stages: splitting roles and timing moves
CheckFrom the mid-game onward, many stages place buttons, levers, or platforms in spots that neither player can reach or hold alone.
- Scan the whole stage first find every button, door, and platform before touching anything.
- Decide who covers which switch or lever before either player moves.
- If one approach fails completely, try the steps in a different order rather than repeating the same attempt.
- Check that neither player has drifted off screen before committing to a timed action.

Common questions
FAQCan I play alone?
No — the game requires two players and will not start with only one. Bring a friend or wait in the lobby to be matched with another player.
Is there a time limit or a game-over screen?
There is no timer and no game-over state. You can attempt any stage as many times as you need without any penalty.
What should we do if we keep failing the same stage?
Stop and scan the whole stage for anything you have not tried yet, such as a hidden button or a different order of steps. If nothing obvious stands out, reset and approach the stage as if you are seeing it for the first time.
Do the final stages play very differently from the early ones?
Yes — later stages are significantly more complex, requiring more precise timing and more creative use of grabbing and stretching.
