Step By Step

Step By Step is a platformer where you keep running as you climb to the top of a map. You adjust your running speed, jump over obstacles and bounce off Powerwalls, playing alone or with friends. The difficulty increases over time, starting easy and becoming more challenging.

Running and jumping

Hold the Slow or Fast key to change your running speed. Hitting a wall turns you around, whether you intend to or not, while Powerwalls let you kick off with a large burst of speed. You need to make precise jumps across treacherous areas, and some jumps are more punishing than others. The hand-drawn environments feature colorful animations and effects.

Falls and progression

There are no checkpoints, and the game autosaves instantly. Falling sends you back to work your way up and try a jump again; some falls are minor, while others are less forgiving. The lower part of the map lets you hone your skills before you take on the obstacles higher up.

Playing with friends

You can climb with friends or by yourself. In online play, friends' names are highlighted in green, you can customize your character and spectate a friend, and you can hide players who are not on your friends list.
