Basic controls on PC and mobile
Table
Whether you are on a keyboard or a phone, you need to master three things: climbing, sprinting, and pulling up a fallen teammate.
| Climb | jump or hold the jump button near an object to pull yourself up |
| Sprint | hold Shift on PC, or press and hold the Sprint button on mobile |
| Shiftlock | press Ctrl on PC only to lock your camera angle |
| Pull teammate | hold E on PC, or hold the Pull button on mobile, after a partner falls |
How the chain changes everything
Warn
The chain connects all players, so a single fall drags the group's momentum and can pull others off a platform.
Wings and the Double Jump Gamepass
Tips
A recent update added two mobility upgrades that can take the edge off the toughest parts of the course.
- Free collectible wings are scattered on the runway section — pick them up so you can glide
- The Double Jump Gamepass is a purchasable upgrade that adds a second jump
Group size
Tips
Understanding how players are organized helps you set up a session with friends correctly.
- Team size — two to four players cooperate as a chained group
- The game supports more than four players
- Platform support — both PC and mobile players can join the same game

Common questions
FAQCan I play with more than four friends?
Yes, the game supports more than four players.
Does the chain mean I can get pulled off a platform by someone else's fall?
Yes. Because every player is linked, a fall puts tension on the whole group.
Are the collectible wings really free?
Yes, the wings found on the runway section cost nothing — you just need to collect them. The Double Jump is separate and requires purchasing the Gamepass.
Do controls work the same on mobile as on PC?
The actions are identical — climb, sprint, and pull — but the inputs differ. Mobile uses on-screen buttons labelled Sprint and Pull where PC uses Shift and E.
