Gimkit Don’t Look Down is a fast-paced 2D mode where players must ascend a vertical obstacle course. The goal is to reach the highest peak before time runs out or another player gets there first. Answering questions correctly provides energy for movement. A single mistake can send you tumbling down, so every jump matters. The higher you climb, the farther you might fall. Keep your focus, and don’t let the height get to you!

Using Don’t Look Down in Assignments
