Check
Everything you do in this game comes down to a handful of inputs. Master these and you can focus on reading the stages rather than fighting the keyboard.
- Movement keys move your character in any direction
- Spacebar jump over obstacles and land on platforms
- Slide available in certain stages to get past low obstacles
- Reach the end of each stage to clear it and move on
Reading each stage
TipsEvery stage throws a different mix of jumps, platforms, and traps at you. Some sections reward speed, while others punish it. Falling carries no penalty, so you can retry as many times as you need.
- Watch a moving platform for a full cycle before you jump so you land it on the first try
- Slow down near traps — a moment of caution is faster than falling and restarting
- If you spot more than one path, try the one that looks easier before committing to a harder route
- When going for a fast time, run the route slowly first to memorize it, then go at full speed
Getting unstuck
StepIf the same jump keeps beating you, the answer is almost always to change something rather than repeat the exact same attempt. The game is designed so that every obstacle has a way through.
- Reset deliberately fall on purpose and use the full run-up from the start of that section
- Shift your jump timing if you keep falling short or overshooting, try jumping a beat later than feels natural
Playing with friends
TipsThe game fully supports both solo and multiplayer. When you run with friends, you can talk through hard sections together and wait for each other between obstacles.
- Match your pace so no one gets left behind on a difficult stretch
- Describe a tricky jump to teammates before they attempt it, especially if you already found the timing
- Wait after you clear a hard section so the whole group can move forward together
- Set a target time and race each other to beat it once everyone knows the route

Common questions
FAQWhat happens when you fall?
You restart from the beginning of the section with no penalty. There is no punishment for falling, so you can try again as many times as you like.
Can you play alone?
Yes, the game works just as well solo as it does with a group. You can set your own pace, try to beat your best time, and move through every stage at whatever speed you choose.
