Rainbow Obby — Play Free Online

Rainbow Obby is an obstacle-course platformer in the "obby" style made popular by Roblox: you move through a course of platforms and hazards, and one bad jump sends you back to try again. It plays in the browser with nothing to install, and a run fits easily into a short break.

If you came to this site for Doodle Jump, the appeal carries over. Both games come down to judging a jump, and both punish a mistimed one right away. Rainbow Obby swaps the endless climb for a course with a start and a finish, so you are working toward a clear goal rather than a high score.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD. The mouse is used to aim and to select things in the menus. On a phone or tablet you tap and swipe instead. The page lists the controls this way, and that is all this page covers, because the game itself explains the rest as you go.

A round is simple in outline. You start at the beginning of the course, work across the platforms and obstacles, and try to reach the end without falling. When you fall, you start over, so most of the game is learning the layout and getting the timing of each jump right.

Tips

• Play the first stretch slowly. Learning where each jump lands is worth more than rushing and falling.
• Look ahead to the next platform before you jump, not only at the one you are standing on.
• Tap for short hops where you can. Holding a key for a full-length move makes it easy to overshoot a narrow platform.
• If the game stalls, reload the page. It restarts cleanly.

Bird Jumper and Hoppenhelm are other jumpers on the site if you want a different take on timing. Ovo 2 is a closer match for precise platforming, with a sharper focus on movement. Fireboy and Watergirl suits you if you would rather solve a course with a partner than race through it alone.

Rainbow Obby suits quick sessions on a keyboard or a touch screen, and it is a good pick when you want a platformer with a visible finish line.
