Begin with a gap you already clear
Choose a familiar early gate and keep the same companion and view. First establish a route that safely clears its full thickness. Once that route is readable, compare where the body passes relative to the midpoint between the solid branch ends.
The game’s centered-crossing check uses a small band around that midpoint, measured in logical game units. You do not need to estimate its exact pixel width on your screen. Aim visually near the middle while retaining clearance for the entire body.
Adjust height without ignoring heading
If the existing safe route passes low, make a modest earlier approach adjustment that brings it closer to the middle. Watch whether this also makes the entry climb steeper. A route can pass through the midpoint and still strike the upper branch farther across.
Likewise, lowering a high crossing can introduce too much descent. Precision concerns the path through a corridor, not a single isolated point. Keep the far edge and the companion’s next direction of travel in your observation.
Read feedback with its limits
When a centered gap is fully cleared, the game can play a distinct clean-crossing sound and use a brief vibration where supported and enabled. Absence of vibration is not proof that the crossing missed the center, and muted effects remove the sound cue.
Centered crossings contribute to internal flow tracking, but each cleared gap still adds only one score point. If chasing the center repeatedly turns safe crossings into collisions, return to the reliable route first. This optional drill should refine control after basic clearance becomes understandable, rather than replace the main task of continuing through the forest.
