Free play is a continuous bar playground: land, fall and keep experimenting. R resets the gymnast; Replay lets you inspect your last move. Choose Challenges above the game for the green-mat objectives described below. C switches the camera view.
Start in Open gym
Open gym gives you one bar and a wide green landing mat. Begin with a small release, without adding a tuck. The gymnast starts with a little momentum, so you can let go early and watch the result.
- Press Play and watch the direction of the swing.
- Use a short Arch hold to add momentum.
- Press Up to release while moving toward the mat.
- Keep pose controls released to stay open.
- Check your angle before contact. Restart with R and adjust the release timing.
The aim is a feet-first landing with controlled rotation. The mat alone is not enough if your body is sideways or upside down.
Build a swing with your body
Arch extends your body and applies effort on the bar. Tuck shortens it and changes how fast you swing. Alternate the two and pay attention to where you are in the arc. Holding one pose forever is less useful than learning the timing.
Release direction comes from your movement at that instant. There is no extra launch boost and no steering your flight left or right afterward.
Tuck, then open early
After release, hold Tuck to rotate faster. Let go before you reach an upright position, because opening your body slows the spin rather than stopping it. A late opening often produces a sideways landing.
Practice tip: turn on Slow motion with S. It gives you more time to see the body angle while keeping the same physical result for the same sequence of inputs.
Change one thing per attempt
Watch replay after a miss. Was the release too early? Did you hold Tuck too long? Was the spin still too fast at contact? Adjust one of those on the next attempt.
A clean landing gives 100 points, plus up to 100 for mat-center precision, 150 per flip, 200 per catch and 100 per trampoline bounce. Each flight adds its completed rotations to the run. Points are awarded only when you land successfully.
Take the next step
Bar flow has three bars and requires at least one regrab before a successful landing. Bounce park adds a blue trampoline: meet it upright to bounce, then aim for the green mat. Every park is available from the menu, with no unlock requirement.
