Basic controls for climbing
Step
Your ball moves with WASD or the arrow keys, and you jump with the spacebar. Every time your ball makes contact with a wall or obstacle, it visibly squishes and deforms — that reaction is part of the game's appeal, not a sign that something went wrong. The goal is simply to reach the top of the tower without falling off.
- Move use WASD or the arrow keys to steer your ball left and right.
- Jump press the spacebar to clear obstacles and gaps.
- Read the tower look at the layout ahead before committing to a jump.
- Pop objects step on keyboards scattered through the tower to pop obstacles and open new paths.
- Enjoy the deformation every collision warps your ball's shape in a different way.

Staying on the tower
Check
The main danger is losing your footing and dropping off a platform. Somewhere in the tower a troll obstacle waits for you, so stay alert as you get higher. If you do fall, you restart from the bottom — there is no other penalty, so you can try as many times as you need.
- Always know where the next platform is before you move.
- Slow down at steep slopes and narrow gaps instead of sprinting through.
- Avoid sharp, sudden direction changes that can send the ball off the edge.
- Watch for the troll obstacle and be ready to react.
Coins, skins, and gear
Summary
Coins appear throughout the tower as you climb, so you collect them naturally on every run. Spend them in the shop to unlock new ball skins and gear. Skins and gear change how your ball looks but not how it handles, so pick whatever design you like. Once something is unlocked it stays in your collection for all future runs. You never need to spend real money to reach the top or to unlock cosmetics.
- Coins earned by climbing; found along the path through the tower.
- Skins visual reskins of your ball; no effect on movement or physics.
- Gear additional cosmetic items that pair with skins for a custom look.
- Unlocks permanent once purchased; available in every run after that.
- Paywall none; the full climb and all coin-based unlocks are free to play.
Fixing lag with a free VIP server
Warn
Public servers can get crowded and cause lag or delayed controls. The game provides free VIP servers specifically for this situation.

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend Robux to finish the game?
No. The full climb is free to play from bottom to top. Coins and all coin-based unlocks are also earned without spending real money.
Does the ball's deformation affect how it moves?
No — the squishing and wobbling are visual effects only. They look great but do not change how your ball handles or jumps.
What happens when I fall?
There is no permanent penalty. You simply restart from the bottom and try the climb again.
