Stuck in a skid? Here are the answers to the usual questions. Still stuck? Write to us.

Controls

How do I drive and draw?

Your car only leaves marks while it slides. Pick the scheme that suits you in Settings > Controls:

Why isn't my car leaving marks?

Tire marks only appear while the rear tires are sliding sideways. Get some speed, turn, then hold slide. The level's dotted line is different: wherever the car touches it, it fills in, sliding or not.

Can I play with a controller or a keyboard?

Yes. Controller: left stick steers, right trigger is gas, left trigger brakes, A or the right bumper slides, and Menu pauses. Keyboard: W A S D or the arrow keys to drive, Space to slide, Esc to pause and R to restart.

Can I play in landscape?

Menus stay upright, but you can turn on Rotate in levels in Settings to play levels sideways on iPhone. iPad works in any orientation.

Purchase

How do I restore my purchase?

Open Settings > Purchase > Restore purchase, or tap Restore purchase on the unlock screen. Make sure you're signed in to the App Store with the same Apple Account you bought with. There is nothing to sign in to inside the game.

Does the unlock work with Family Sharing?

Yes. If you buy the unlock and Family Sharing is on, everyone in your family group gets it on their own devices. If it doesn't show up right away, they can tap Restore purchase.

My purchase says it's waiting for approval.

That's Ask to Buy. Everything unlocks as soon as a parent or guardian approves it, no need to buy again.

What's free and what's in the unlock?

The Daily Shape is free forever, and so is the whole Parking Lot. The one-time unlock adds four more places (Crop Circles, Zen Garden, Zamboni and Cake Boss, 48 levels), plus Freestyle Canvas with video export. No subscriptions, no ads.

iCloud and Game Center

How do I get my progress on my iPad (or a new iPhone)?

Sign in to iCloud with the same Apple Account on both devices and keep iCloud turned on for Carligraphy. Your stars, best times and streak sync on their own. If iCloud is off, progress saves on that device only.

How do I get on the leaderboards?

Sign in to Game Center in the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. The game works fine without it, and your stars still save on your device. There are two leaderboards: the fastest Daily Shape of the day and Total Stars.

Daily Shape

When does the Daily Shape change?

Every day at 00:00 UTC, for everyone at once. The home screen shows a countdown in your local time. You can play as often as you like, and your fastest finish counts.

I finished just after midnight UTC. Where did my time go?

If a new day starts while you're mid-drift, that attempt still saves on your phone but doesn't count for the new day's leaderboard.
