Obby: Keyboard Run +1 Speed

The pitch

Run and jump across oversized keyboard keys in a 3D obby. Build up speed with every step, tackle obstacle courses, collect wins and unlock character upgrades. Explore both worlds at your own pace, with optional ad rewards and saved progress.

Controls & how it runs

Move with WASD, jump with Space, and hold the right mouse button to look around. On mobile, use the joystick, drag to look, and tap Jump. Reach the trophy at the end of a course, collect wins, and use upgrades to progress further.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a flexible screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. It reshapes itself for tall and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all get the full picture. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for obby cabinets

• Look one obstacle past the one you're on. Obby stages are rhythm sections disguised as architecture — reading ahead is what turns a rage course into a dance.
• Short hops beat long leaps. Two small jumps keep you in control of the landing; one heroic bound hands your fate to the bounce physics, which is not merciful.
• Every fall teaches the stage's favourite trick. Obby designers repeat their best traps with new paint — once a trap has had you once, it should never have you again.
