Jump for Animals Controls
Walk, jump, slot animals, and open the Index without fighting the HUD.
Jump for Animals uses ordinary Roblox movement. There is no combat combo and no hidden skill tree. If you can walk and jump, you can play. This hub is the control map for PC, mobile, and gamepad, plus where the collection menus sit so you are not hunting a Codes box that does not exist yet.
Movement
- PC: WASD to walk, Space to jump, Shift to sprint if the experience enables it. Camera is right mouse drag. Every step grants EXP, so sprinting in a circle is valid training.
- Mobile: Left thumbstick to walk, on-screen jump button to leap. The jump button can overlap HUD icons — if you miss a pickup, you probably hit Shop instead of Space-equivalent.
- Gamepad: Left stick walk, A / bottom face button jump. Use the Roblox cursor mode if a GUI will not highlight.
You do not punch animals. You walk into them or jump into their hitbox, then carry them to the plot. If a pickup fails, you were too high, too low, or already holding something. Slot the current pet on the base and try again.
HUD buttons you actually need
- Index — 55-animal checklist across 9 rarities. Grey means unknown. Gold border or a check means logged. This is the only roster that matters; ignore random wikis that invent names.
- Shop / Lucky Blocks — Premium rolls for Legendary through Beyond. See the Lucky Blocks guide.
- Codes — only if GiovaDev added the box. Path is on how to redeem. Chat is not a redeem channel.
- Rebirth — confirm modal. Read it. Guide: how to rebirth.
- Treadmills — world objects, not a menu. Walk onto the belt. Multipliers are ×3 to ×1000.
Settings live in the Roblox escape menu: volume, shift lock, camera sensitivity. Shift lock helps on narrow towers. It does nothing for EXP.
Camera and jump feel
JumpPower changes how high Space sends you. Early on, a full hold and a tap are similar. Later, a tap can overshoot a platform. Camera-down slightly before a pickup so you see the hitbox. If you clip through a pet, the server lagged; walk back, do not spam jump into the void.
R15 avatars are forced. Your catalog items will morph. That does not change JumpPower.
Friends and servers
Servers cap at five players. Join a friend from the Roblox friends list for the ×2 cash bonus. You cannot “control” their pets. You can only share the world spawns and the bonus flag. If the server is full, create a new one and send the link.
Voice is not required. Text chat is enough to call a rarity. Stay civil; this is a kids-friendly simulator, not a PvP trash-talk title.
Accessibility notes
Colour-coded mutations (Gold, Diamond, Ruby, Emerald) are hard to read on some displays. If you cannot tell Ruby from Gold, rely on the tooltip multiplier, not the particle. The mutation list prints the numbers in text.
If the HUD scale is tiny on a phone, Roblox Settings → Accessibility may help. This wiki cannot change the experience UI.
Player pages on this hub
- Base and slots — where cash actually prints.
- JumpPower and EXP — how height is earned and why belts beat walking.
- Friends cash bonus — official ×2 in a five-player server.
If a YouTube clip shows evolve-into-frog or jump shoes, you are in the wrong game. See similar games.
Once movement is comfortable, go back to getting started and play the loop. Controls are the easy part. Slotting the right pet is the hard part.
