Learn the board before chasing height
Start with two total riders and a low summit target. You and the AI leave glass behind as you ride, so the arena changes with every lap. Look for a route back before climbing into a narrow space.
Riding gradually adds momentum; turns shed speed. Ending a boost does not instantly return you to your earlier speed. Learn your exit turn as well as the straight you plan to accelerate along.
Controls you can use immediately
| Action | Keyboard | Touch |
|---|---|---|
| Turn | A / D or Left / Right | Tap the corresponding side of the arena. |
| Boost | W / Up, Shift or B | Use the Boost bar. |
| Jump | Space, S or Down | Use Jump or double-tap the centre strip. |
| Camera | C | Use the labelled Wide view / Follow view control. |
| Pause | Escape | Use Pause. |
A boost is also a bridge
Active boost builds glass under you when you ride beyond existing ground. That path remains for other riders. If the boost expires before you reach safety, speed alone cannot build the missing floor.
You can keep boosting through a jump, but being airborne leaves gaps behind you. Completed charge levels survive a jump; unfinished charge progress is lost, and charging waits until you land. Treat the visible charge level as the budget for your next route.
Rubber buys time, not ground
Glass contact uses rubber. A faster impact burns it more quickly, so the same wall becomes less forgiving as your momentum rises. Turn or jump clear before it is exhausted. Rubber cannot protect you from falling into the void.
Try Wide view when you need to see the arena’s shape, and Follow view when you prefer to concentrate on the next corner. The selected view is remembered between races.
Two ways to finish a race
Outlast the other riders, or reach the chosen summit and boost through the descending gold flag. The summit is a goal rather than a hard ceiling: you can climb above it.
AI wins earn TRON for garage cosmetics. TRON is fictional game currency with no cash value, and cosmetics retain the same physics. The current browser beta has AI opponents; the rider count does not mean online multiplayer.
