PLAYER GUIDE

How to Play

Watch the lanes, read the next obstacle, and move before the spike reaches you.

Start playing

The basic controls

  1. Start a Practice, Bot Play, or available online match.
  2. Watch your player and the incoming obstacles in the arena.
  3. Swipe up or down to switch lanes. You can also use the on-screen lane controls when they are available.
  4. Move early enough to avoid the spike, then prepare for the next one.

On desktop, use the supported keyboard controls shown by the game. If touch or keyboard input is not responding, tap or click inside the game area and try again.

Practice

Use Practice to learn lane changes and get comfortable with the arena without the pressure of an opponent.

Bot Play

Play against a computer-controlled opponent. Choose a difficulty when the game offers that setting and work on reacting consistently.

Quick Play

Choose a match size and search for other players. Match availability depends on whether enough eligible players are online.

Community Levels

Browse player-created levels or use the editor to create an obstacle pattern. Read a level's details before starting it.

Scores and improvement

Your score reflects your performance in a run. Compare your results with your own best and, where available, the leaderboard. Online score features may require signing in. Guest progress may be limited to the current device.

  • Look ahead instead of reacting only when a spike is beside you.
  • Make one deliberate lane change rather than switching repeatedly.
  • Use Practice to build a steady rhythm.
  • Take a break if you find yourself rushing or missing visual cues.
