Play with friends: rooms, codes and online races

On one screen (the couch)

Open Nebula Rush on a laptop, desktop or TV. A four-letter room code appears on screen. Everyone else opens the same site on their phone, taps Join a code, and types it. Each phone becomes a controller and takes a slot on the grid — up to six racers, with bots filling any empty seats.

Online, across devices

Want to race friends who aren't in the room? Use Play online to get matched into a public room, or share your code so they can join from anywhere. The server runs the race for everyone, and an in-race ping badge shows each player's connection so you can tell lag from skill.

Phones, keyboards and gamepads together

A single race can mix input types: some players on phones (tilt), some on keyboards, some on gamepads. The big screen splits the view so everyone sees their own ship.

Tips for a smooth session

• Put the host screen where everyone can see it, and turn the volume up.
• Everyone on the same Wi-Fi keeps couch play snappy.
• For online play, a wired or strong connection on the host helps the most.
• Start with a short track and a few laps to teach newcomers, then raise the stakes.
