How to play Sky Obby

Run along the course, jump the gaps and reach the next white platform with a flag. That is a checkpoint: it saves your stage, and if you fall off the course you start again from the last flag you touched. There is no game over and no limit on falls, so keep trying until you get it.

The course never ends. Each stage is a little longer than the last, gaps get wider, platforms get narrower and the obstacles move faster. Collect the gold coins along the way. Your stage and coins are saved in your browser, so you can come back and carry on later.

Controls

Action	Phone or tablet	Computer
Run	Touch and drag anywhere. A joystick appears under your thumb. Push up to run forward.	`W` `A` `S` `D` or the arrow keys
Jump	Jump button	`Space`

Hold Jump for a full jump or tap it for a small hop. You can still jump for a split second after running off an edge, and a jump pressed just before you land is remembered.

Obstacles

Hops and stairs: jump from block to block. Watch the shadow under your runner to see where you will land.
Balance beams (yellow): narrow paths. Go slowly and keep straight.
Sliding platforms (green): they move side to side. Time your jump for when they come close.
Lifts (blue): ride them up to reach the next ledge.
Crumbling tiles (orange): they shake and fall a moment after you step on them. Keep moving.
Bounce pads (pink): step on one to fly up to a higher platform.
Spinners: a red bar sweeps round a wide platform. Jump over it as it comes past.
Pushers: red blocks slide across a walkway and shove you towards the edge.

Tips

The round shadow under your runner shows exactly where you will land.
Do not rush a beam. Stop at the end, line up, then go.
On crumbling tiles, never stop. Jump the moment you land.
On a spinner, wait at the edge, watch one full turn, then cross right after the bar passes.
