Shoot a Friend [2 Player Obby]
Getting set up before you start
Check
This game is built for exactly two players working together, so you need a partner before anything else makes sense. A private server is officially recommended, which keeps strangers from wandering into your session and disrupting your run.
- Pick your partner in advance the puzzles require two people cooperating.
- Use a private server the game itself recommends this.
- Know that your data saves every 100 meters you can quit and pick up from your last checkpoint next time you log in.

How shooting your partner fits into the puzzles
TipsThe game gives each player a gun, and shooting your friend is how you trigger the puzzle solutions that let both of you advance.
- Shooting your partner is how you propel them and unlock puzzle mechanics.
- Stay at the same pace as your partner — getting too far ahead or falling behind breaks the two-player mechanics.
Distance milestones and what to expect
TableThree distance badges mark your journey through the obby. The tone of each badge description makes it clear the course does not get kinder with distance.
| 100 meters | the game warns you it does not get easier from here. |
| 200 meters | described as the end for now, meaning this is currently the furthest story milestone the game acknowledges. |
| 300 meters | the badge says no way, signaling this stretch is the toughest the course offers. |
Finding the three hidden cats
StepHunting the cats is a side goal you can chase while running the main obby. One location hint is given outright; the other two require your own searching.
- Look for the first cat it is hidden somewhere in the stages, and finding it earns you the first cat badge.
- Head to the Crystal Caverns for the second cat the game itself points you there, so search that area carefully.
The PVP arena
TipsThe PVP arena gives you a competitive outlet. One badge is tied exclusively to this mode.
- The PVP arena is a distinct area separate from the main obby course.
- Become King of the Hill at least once to unlock the King of The Hill badge.
