The two roles and what they do
Table
The game splits responsibility cleanly between two players. The Miner handles anything blocking the path, while the Builder creates the footing needed to keep moving. Because neither player can do the other's job, you have to stay in sync from the moment the stage begins.
| Miner | breaks obstacles to clear the path forward |
| Builder | places blocks to form stairs, bridges, and jump platforms |
| Teamwork | both roles must combine for any stage to be completed |
Getting started with a friend
StepA small amount of setup at the start saves a lot of confusion mid-stage. The most important thing is making sure you and your friend are actually in the same server, then agreeing on who does what before the action begins.
- Join the same server confirm your friend appears in the same game session before doing anything else.
- Pick your roles decide who will be the Miner and who will be the Builder before the stage starts.
What to check when you are stuck
CheckWhen you stop making progress, resist the urge to just keep trying the same thing.
- Miner look for small obstacles that were left behind or not fully broken.
- Builder check whether any placed blocks are now blocking the route instead of helping it.
- If nothing works, try swapping roles.

Common questions
FAQCan I play this alone?
No — the game is built for exactly two players. The Miner and Builder roles depend on each other, so a solo player cannot get through the stages. Bring a friend before you start.
Can we swap roles mid-game?
Yes, you and your partner can switch who is the Miner and who is the Builder.
What happens if the Builder places a block in the wrong spot?
A misplaced block can end up blocking your route rather than helping it. Remove it and place it in the correct position — this is one of the most common reasons teams get stuck.
