What is Do a Somersault

Ready to test your aerial skills? Do a Somersault is a quirky arcade game that challenges you to flip through obstacle courses with perfect timing.

How to Play

Tap or click to launch your character into a somersault. Time your rotation so you land feet-first on the ground to avoid falling and continue your run.

Tips for Playing

  • Watch the platform edges—landing in the center is safer.
  • Short taps create tighter rotations; hold for bigger flips.
  • Learn the rhythm of moving obstacles to time your jump correctly.
  • Don’t rush—sometimes waiting a beat is the smartest move.
