How to play

You're a toy paratrooper. Jump, fight the wind, and land on the bullseye as softly as you can. Tap a soldier on the start screen to pick him, and tap him again to read his profile.

Five quick lessons: look, steer, flare, dive and read the wind.

Touch

• One thumb works the stick: sideways to steer, push up to dive, pull down to flare
• Drag anywhere else to look around (full 360°)
• Double-tap to recenter your view

Keyboard + mouse

• Drag with the mouse to look around
• A/D or ←/→ to steer
• Space, S or ↓ to flare (or hold both steer keys)
• W or ↑ to dive (combine with steer for a diving turn)
• Space jumps · C recenters view · R restarts
• V switches first-person / chase camera · Z binoculars (Spotter) · M sound
• 1–7 pick a perch · Space launches the drone, then drops you

Tips

• Locations: the Backyard is free. The Front Yard, the Park, the Forest and the Pool each unlock with one visit to my Ko-fi page (open the Locations list on the start screen, or the pin on the perch panel)
• Every location has a toy to win: land on its target 3 times (at the Pool, on the drifting kickboard) and a new soldier joins the squad
• Skills: most soldiers have a skill button (or press E) while flying. The Bazooka's kick pushes you away from where you look: look back and fire to boost forward, look down to brake
• Front Yard: fly through a sprinkler's spray and your chute gets soaked and heavy. Cars going by push the air around, and the flag shows the wind too
• Land on the target 3 times in the Front Yard and the Medic joins the squad (a hard landing only counts as firm for him)
• Radio chatter: Command calls out the wind, how far the target is (in clock directions: 12 o'clock is straight ahead) and tells you when to flare: "Get ready…" then "FLARE NOW!", timed for your soldier. Radio Man gets more calls. Need help landing soft? Turn on Walkie-talkie or Spotter Voice in Settings
• Each soldier flies differently: heavy ones punch through wind, light ones float longer but get pushed around
• The eye button switches between first person and a chase camera behind your soldier
• The windsock by the target points the way the wind is blowing
• Every perch aims for the same bullseye. Pick one that's upwind of it so the wind carries you in. The map shows every perch, a dashed line to the target colored by how reachable it is today (green = in reach, yellow = tight, red = too far) and the wind arrows
• Higher perches score more: attic window ×1.3, treehouse ×1.4, roof peak ×1.8, kite ×2. The drone scores ×1 to ×2.5 depending on how high you drop
• Roof peak is a blind start: you face away from the yard and have to turn and come in over the roof
• Everything is solid. Chute in a tree, the swing or the antenna = tangled. Bonk something with your body and the landing counts harder. Land on top of something and you score nothing
• Daily Jump: a new bullseye spot, wind and soldier every day, the same for everyone. Unlimited tries; your first try is saved too
• Share a jump: your friend gets the same soldier, perch, bullseye and the exact same wind
• Drone: tap Launch, watch it climb, and hit DROP when the height feels right
• Above about 5 m there's a second wind layer that can blow a different way (the map shows both)
• Coming up short, or a headwind? Dive to stretch your glide: you go a lot faster and only drop a little faster. Ease off before the ground, or you'll land hard
• The altitude box turns red when you're coming down too fast to land softly
• Your shadow on the ground shows where you are; it slides toward you as you get low
• Two views: chase (behind him) is the easiest for lining up; first person is the most fun. Switch any time with 👁 or V
• The flare only lasts about a second and a half. Start it just before touchdown
• Turning makes you sink faster, so don't land in a turn. Too high? Weave S-turns (hard swings burn extra height) or hold a full turn for a few seconds to spiral down fast
• Ghosts: your best run from each perch flies along with you, see-through. A challenge link brings your friend's run as a ghost. Turn it off in Settings
• Watch replay on the score card plays your jump again (chase cam; the eye button shows it through your eyes)
