Build momentum
Hold a direction, then hold Shift to keep accelerating to top speed. Pip carries that momentum through jumps.
PIP VS THE M.E.T.E.O.R.
A PAPER-SPEED ADVENTURE
FOLDEDTHUNDER
Charge the crease. Scatter the foil. Outrun the turning page.
Move A/D or ←/→ · Hold Shift for top speed · At 80%+ tap ↓ to roll · Jump twice W/↑/Z · Hold ↓ + Space, release ↓ to dash
QUICK FOLD SCHOOL
Run like the page is turning.
Roll the momentum
At 80% speed or faster, tap Down to curl into a crushing ball. Pip coasts and can smash crease gates while rolling.
Connect to momentum routes
Follow the entrance chevrons. Build enough speed for the cue to turn gold, then tap Down close to the glowing gate. Cyan means the route is armed—stay rolled through the entrance.
Pop out—with a price
Tap Down again while rolling to uncurl into a seeded surprise arc. More remaining speed means more lift, but the pop sheds a large part of your forward momentum.
Jump the fold
Tap Z, W, or Up. A short grace window helps you jump just after leaving an edge.
Double-fold in the air
Jump again while Pip is curled into a ball. The second fold gives a fresh lift and a faster coral spin; a third press waits until landing.
Coins are your safety
A hit spills up to ten coins into the world. Chase them down to recover your safety buffer before they blink away after five seconds. A hit with zero coins sends you back to the last checkpoint.
Fold Shield
Pick up the cyan shield to ignore bots, hazards, and crease gates for exactly three seconds. It flashes before expiring; falls still count.
Bounce off generated boss parts
The arena locks, but Pip never runs by himself. Dodge the marked attack, then descend onto the named gold mechanism inside the moving cyan-and-gold orbital spell circle. A clean hit bounces Pip away with one air jump still ready.
Charge, then release Down
Hold Down and Space. Release Down to launch the crease dash. Release Space first to cancel safely.
