How it plays

CommunityAs described by two independent community guides (checked 2026-08-16) — not yet verified against official material.

Both guides describe standing on tiles you can fall from, with the round telling you on screen which ones are safe, and both note that players standing close together can push each other.

Where the guides disagree

Checked 2026-08-16. The game shipped five patches between 1 and 14 August 2026, so these accounts may describe different builds or different modes. We have not verified either one against official material, so both are here.

How a round is actually won

Sportskeeda ↗: Sportskeeda frames it as elimination: you win by pushing the others into the pit as the floor keeps shrinking.
Deltia's Gaming ↗: Deltia's Gaming frames it as survival: you stand on the tile matching the shape on screen, and pushing is something players can do rather than the point of the round.

How this page knows what it knows

The line at the top comes from official text — Steam's own achievement wording and the developers' patch notes. The description of how a round plays comes from two independent community guides that we cross-check against each other; where they disagree, both accounts are printed rather than one being picked. Nobody on this site has played the simulation, and we say so instead of writing tips that sound tested.

If you have played it and something here is wrong, tell us — first-hand corrections are the fastest way this page improves.
