A Simple Obby? — Getting started and saving your progress
About
OverviewA Simple Obby? starts out looking like a straightforward obstacle course, but the game keeps throwing new mechanics, strange physics, and hidden secret areas at you as you push further. This guide covers how to get started, how to handle the trickier stages, and what to do when the game starts acting very, very weird.

Getting started and saving your progress
Step
There is no setup required. Start at Stage 1 and use the early stages to get a feel for how movement and jumping work. The game saves your progress every time you clear a stage, so if you quit and come back later you will pick up exactly where you left off.
- Start at Stage 1 use the first few stages to get comfortable with jumping and moving before the mechanics get unusual.
- Quit without worrying your progress is saved at every stage, so leaving and returning is completely safe.
Handling stages when you keep failing
Check
Before trying again the exact same way, take a moment to look at the stage and figure out what it is actually asking you to do.
- Are you rushing? Stop and observe the stage layout before your next attempt.
- Is your jump angle right? Even a small shift in direction can make the difference.
- Is your timing off? Watch the moving parts of the stage through a full cycle before jumping.
- Are you pressing buttons in the right order?
When the game stops making sense
Warn
At some point the game will stop behaving like a normal obstacle course. Gravity, movement speed, or the way objects behave can shift dramatically. None of this is a glitch.
Finding the secret areas
Tips
The game advertises very weird secret areas and worlds as a distinct feature. They are not handed to you; you have to look for them.
- Check the edges, walls, and corners of each stage rather than heading straight for the exit.
- Look for objects or surfaces that stand out visually from everything around them.
- Try jumping toward spots that look just out of reach — some entrances are only accessible that way.
- Pay attention above and below the main path, not just ahead of you.

Common questions
FAQIf I leave the game mid-run, do I start over from the beginning?
No. The game saves your progress every time you finish a stage. When you come back, you resume from the last stage you reached.
The game is behaving in a completely unexpected way — is something broken?
No. Unusual physics and strange behaviour are deliberately designed into the game. Try to work out what the new rules are rather than waiting for things to return to normal.
How do I find the secret areas?
Explore beyond the obvious path — check walls, corners, and spots above or below the main route. Some entrances are only reachable with a well-aimed jump, so keep experimenting if a suspicious spot looks just out of reach.
Is there anything to buy or unlock, or is everything free?
Every stage and every secret area can be reached through skill alone. There are no codes to redeem and no paid items that affect progression.
