Look from gate to gate
Before changing altitude, find the next opening and notice whether it sits higher or lower than the comet’s route. Hold to rise or release to fall in a controlled interval, then reassess. If you wait until the gate is very close, you may not have enough space to correct. Looking one obstacle ahead supports smoother movement through the winding cave.
Use near misses selectively
Near misses grant bonus points, but moving too close to a wall can leave little margin for the next gate. A safer route is often more valuable than a single bonus when it keeps the comet alive. Try a run focused on clearing gates cleanly; once the route feels readable, test one close pass where the next obstacle leaves room to recover.
Learn hold duration
The core controls are hold to rise and release to fall. Start with brief holds and observe how the comet responds, then vary the length based on the visible gap. A long hold may carry you past the intended height, while a late release delays the fall. The game’s feedback lets you refine this control loop one gate at a time.
Questions about Glide tips
How do you rise in Glide?
Hold to lift the comet; release to fall. Alternate the two actions to thread through gates in the winding cave.
Are near misses required?
No. They add bonus points, but a close pass is optional. Clear the cave gates safely before choosing to chase a bonus.
