Basic controls before you touch Stage 1
Step
The whole game runs on three keys. You aim where you want to draw using the mouse, then use the keyboard to place, remove, or wipe your floor. Get comfortable with all three before you try anything tricky.
- Press 1 hold it down to draw a floor segment wherever your mouse is pointing.
- Press 2 erase a part of what you already drew if it is in the wrong spot.
- Press 3 clear every piece of drawn floor at once, useful when you want to start a section over.
- Point your mouse first decide exactly where you want the floor before you press anything.
- Start on Stage 1 the early stages are gentle, so use them to get a feel for placing floor accurately.

Common questions
FAQCan I play Doodle Obby on a phone?
The game is built around keyboard shortcuts — keys 1, 2, and 3 — so a physical keyboard is needed to play properly.
My pencil will not draw anything — what do I do?
Check that you are pressing key 1 while pointing your mouse at the spot you want to draw. If it still does not work, try reloading the game or moving to a different stage and returning.
I keep dying on the same stage — any advice?
Try changing the shape or thickness of the floor you are drawing, and look at the stage background for any hints about what the game wants from you.
Can I get the Deathless badge across multiple sessions?
No — the badge requires beating the entire game with zero deaths in one continuous attempt, with no saving and returning. The full run must be done in a single sitting.
