Arrow keys / A D — roll left and right

How to play

Roll left and right and jump over the hazards. Many puzzles are solved by pushing crates or using your own weight to tip a platform rather than by pure timing.

DriftBoss Tips

01Momentum is a tool. Roll into a slope rather than jumping from a standstill.
02Squash the small enemies by landing on them; there is no other attack.
03Boss fights have a rhythm — watch one full cycle before engaging.
04Stars are optional but usually sit just off the obvious path.
