Common questions
FAQWhat should I focus on when I first start?
Spend your first few runs just getting used to the rhythm of reading the color and moving before the countdown ends. Falling early is normal, and repeating matches is genuinely the fastest way to improve your timing.
Can I play every stage without spending anything?
Yes, all stages are available to free players. Roblox Premium gives a 10% walkspeed increase and daily rewards, but it does not unlock any stages that are otherwise closed.
How do I set up a game just for my friend group?
Create a VIP Server, which is free, and send your friends the invite. Only the people you invite can join, so there are no strangers in the lobby.
Does standing near other players cause problems?
Yes, colliding with other players can knock you off a block. Try to move to your chosen block along a path that avoids the crowd, and stand toward the center once you arrive.
