- Failure condition touching the water ends your run immediately
- Room size up to 40 players share the same session
Staying ahead of the water
StepThe water never stops rising, so pausing even for a moment lets it close the gap. Tight passages and tricky jumps are where most players fall behind, so take them carefully rather than rushing and falling.
- Keep moving always have an upward path in mind before you take each step
- Handle jumps carefully a missed jump that sends you down is worse than a slow jump that lands
- Narrow sections slow down through tight spots rather than rushing and dropping
