Player guide
The moves, the route cues and what to try first.
Get comfortable
These are the defaults. Keyboard bindings can be changed in the game’s Settings.
Keep your movement finger on the stick while using the right-side actions. You can drag from JUMP, SLIDE or GRAB to turn the camera. Releasing the stick stops requesting movement.
The bumper jump layout lets your right thumb stay on the camera while you jump.
Read what’s ahead
Color helps you recognize a route. Shape and the approach still matter: aim for the real surface or line.
Real night gameplay
Line up with the white rail, then use GRAB to catch and grind. Look toward your next transfer as you ride.
Find your GRAB controlConnect different techniques: jump into a wall run, transfer onto a rail, then catch a rope. A technique chain builds Tempo and helps your movement gather speed.
Repeating the same technique immediately doesn’t add another link. Long flat stretches or waiting too long between techniques end the chain.
Grabbing is deliberate. Line up with a wall, rail or rope and use GRAB. Use jump or release to transfer toward the next part of the route.
A missed move is a chance to read the approach again. Use the ground to recover when the course gives you a route back.
Choose your session
The ordinary NYC progression has 25 maps. Each attempt is three laps on one clock. Bronze opens the next map; higher medals give you a reason to return.
Start with THE FIRST GHOST tutorial from Maps if you want to practice the controls.
Run three selected maps with three laps each. A single clock measures all nine laps, with a separate City personal best.
Select JOIN RACE. Fields form with 2–6 players, so an empty server may need another runner. Race powers change the race; use the held card with your USE control.
The YOUR BEST replay shows your own best run. Use it to spot a slower corner or a better transfer. Cosmetics change your look without buying faster movement or stronger powers.
Learn the tutorial, then focus on finishing a map. On the next lap, pick one rail or wall transfer to improve. Build a route you can repeat before looking for a faster one.
Joining the server does not join the race queue. Choose JOIN RACE and wait for at least one other queued player. Keep running solo while the field forms.
Use the feedback checklist. Include the map, your device and what happened just before the issue.
