Details

Some tips on how to play Catching Features:

Use a separate mouse
Hold the space bar to look at the map while running
Press 1 to zoom in and 2 to zoom out
Press R to focus the map on your current leg
Press W to move the map up, S to move it down, A left, and D right
Hold alt while running to jump – this can be helpful if you get stuck and can’t move!
Press right mouse button to run backwards (slowly)
Paths can be hard to see
It’s difficult to relocate, so stay in contact with the map
Practice helps! Catching Features definitely gets easier after you’ve played on a few different maps

Scoring

You’ll be ranked by:

firstly, which course you complete – for example, everyone who completes the Hard Course will be ranked above those who complete the Easy course
then, the total time you take to complete the course

Warm-up

Go into Competition mode in Catching Features and choose a short course to warm up on – quit early if you need to so you’re still fresh for the stage.
