Getting started and basic controls
Step
The game drops you straight into Stage 1, which works like a tutorial. Take your time here to get comfortable before the traps and Barra become a real problem.
- Move around use WASD on keyboard or the joystick on mobile to walk in any direction.
- Adjust your camera move the mouse or right stick so you can see what is ahead of you before committing to a jump.
- Read each stage before you run, pause and look at where the path goes and what obstacles are in the way.
- Try, fail, repeat if something stops you, experiment with a different angle or timing rather than just rushing through the same way again.
Trap types and how to beat them
Check
The game throws spiked floors, rotating obstacles, pits, and moving walls at you across its 33 stages.
- Spiked floors time your jump so you clear the spikes completely rather than clipping the edge.
- Rotating obstacles watch one full rotation to find the gap, then move through it at the right moment.
- Pits and drop zones check the width of the gap before you jump.
- Moving walls and platforms match your movement to the platform's direction rather than fighting against it.
- New stage, first look before sprinting ahead, spend a few seconds checking what type of trap is coming so you are not surprised mid-run.
Staying ahead of Barra
Tips
Some stages put Barra directly on your trail. A straight sprint is not always the right answer.
- Use corners and narrow passages to break her line of sight rather than staying in open space.
- Moving up or down to a different height can shake her pursuit.
- If one route is blocked, switch to an alternative immediately.
Three phases of the full 33 stages
Table
Think of the run as three distinct stretches, each demanding something different from you.
| Stages 1–15 | build your core movement: practice jumping, timing, and camera control until they feel automatic. |
| Stages 16–25 | apply what you learned: traps combine and Barra becomes harder to avoid, so use your knowledge of her patterns. |
| Stages 26–33 | handle complex combinations: multiple trap types hit at once, and you will need to recall past failures to read each room correctly. |
Playing with friends
Tips
The game supports multiplayer, and having someone to talk to while you play makes a real difference on the harder stages.
- If a friend clears a stage before you, ask them to describe the timing they used — you do not have to figure it out alone.
- When several players are on the same stage, spread out your attempts so you are not all tripping over each other at the same obstacle.
- Sharing what went wrong is just as helpful as sharing what went right — knowing where someone else failed saves you from the same mistake.
What to do when you keep failing the same stage
WarnGetting stuck on one stage is normal, especially in the back half of the game.

Common questions
FAQHow many stages does the game have?
There are 33 stages in total. Clearing the final one means you have escaped Barra's house and finished the game.
Can I play through the whole game without spending Robux?
Everything needed to clear all 33 stages is available from the start, so you can complete the full game without spending anything.
My friend finished a stage before me — do I need to catch up?
No. Each player progresses at their own pace, so there is no need to rush or ask anyone to wait. A friend who is already through a stage can actually help by giving you tips on how they did it.
