How to Unlock “Mind the gap.”

Steam's official wordingOfficial

Survive until there are only 10 tiles left in Stable Footing.

21.3% of players have unlocked it — uncommon.

Last verified: · Steam global stats

What the wording tells us

The threshold is counted in tiles rather than in time: ten have to remain, and you have to still be standing when that happens.

The wording does not require you to win the round.

What players report

CommunityCommunity guides, not official material.

Both guides describe standing on tiles you can fall from, with the safe ones indicated on screen, and both note players can push each other.

What the official text does not say

Community accounts do not settle these — they are gaps in the official wording, and we would rather name them than fill them in.

  • The official text does not say how quickly the tiles are removed.

Worth knowing before you try

  • Local sessions played before 2026-08-13 may not have registered this achievement — registration in Local mode was broken until v2.1.1.
  • Uncommon is derived from the global unlock rate rather than from anyone's judgement of difficulty. How the tiers work →

The simulation

Stay standing as the floor tiles disappear underneath everyone.
