Teamwork in Tsunami
How the game works
Summary
Each stage puts a tsunami behind you and a series of obstacles ahead. Someone has to stand on or use a block to activate a button, which disables a trap or opens a path. While that person holds the button, the rest of the team pushes through. The cycle repeats until the team clears the stage.
- Goal clear every stage before the tsunami catches up
- Buttons activate them to disable traps or unlock new paths
- Traps block your way until a button is pressed
- Gimmicks combinations of buttons, blocks, and traps that change each stage
- Teamwork the game is built so you cannot survive without helping each other

Handling gimmicks that need simultaneous button presses
Tips
As stages get harder, you will hit spots where two or more buttons must be pressed at the same time. One person covering a single button is no longer enough, so the whole team needs to coordinate.
- Count down out loud or in chat so everyone hits their button at the same moment
- Before you try, check that a teammate is actually standing near each button that needs to be pressed
- If a moving block is part of the gimmick, wait for it to stop completely before anyone advances
- If the attempt fails, swap who covers which button and try again — sometimes a different person in a different spot is all it takes
Keeping the team together
WarnBecause every obstacle requires cooperation, one player falling behind or getting stuck can block everyone else.
Glossary
Glossary- Button
- A switch placed in the stage that, when activated by standing on it or using a block, disables a nearby trap or opens a new path.
- Trap
- An obstacle that blocks players from moving forward until a button has been pressed to neutralise it.
- Gimmick
- A stage puzzle built from some combination of buttons, blocks, and traps that the team must solve together.
- Tsunami
- The wave chasing the team from behind that creates a time pressure to clear each stage quickly.
Common questions
FAQCan you play this game alone?
The stages are designed around cooperation, so clearing all of them solo is very difficult. You need other players to hold buttons while you pass through traps, and vice versa.
What happens if the tsunami catches you?
The tsunami is effectively a time limit on each stage.
What should you do when a gimmick has you totally stuck?
Check that every button actually has someone covering it. If it still is not working, try swapping which player stands on which button.
