</>What does Chimney Drifter (Fly & Phase) do?
Burglin' Gnomes is a game about very small thieves in a very big house, and most of your time goes on finding a way in. Chimney Drifter skips the search. Your gnome lifts straight off the grass and flies wherever you look - over the fence, up past the drainpipe, in through the bathroom window. Steer with your usual movement keys, Jump to rise, Crouch to drop, and hold Run when you want to cross the whole garden in a hurry. Let go of everything and you stop dead in the air, so you can hover above a room and watch the owners shuffle about below. Turn on Noclip and solid walls stop applying, which is how you get a look inside a locked room - and how you get back out of one. Flight is yours alone. Nobody else needs to install anything, and it behaves the same whether you opened the lobby or joined a friend's. Two house rules worth knowing: the game hauls any gnome that climbs too high back to its burrow, so flight quietly stops short of that line, and the world past the property fence is not somewhere a gnome survives - keep to the garden and the roof. If you switch flight off while you happen to be inside a wall, you get set down on the floor below instead of wedged in the brickwork.
</>What is Chimney Drifter (Fly & Phase)?

</>Common questions about Chimney Drifter (Fly & Phase)
What does Chimney Drifter do in Burglin' Gnomes?
Chimney Drifter lifts your gnome off the lawn in Burglin' Gnomes so you can fly wherever you are looking - over the fence, up past the drainpipe and in through the bathroom window instead of hunting for a way in on foot. Steer with your usual movement keys, tap Jump to rise, Crouch to drop, and let go of everything to hover in place above a room. There is an optional Noclip setting for passing through walls and locked doors. Flight covers your own gnome only, and it behaves the same whether you opened the lobby or joined a friend's game.
How do you steer while flying with Chimney Drifter?
Flying in Chimney Drifter uses the controls you already have in Burglin' Gnomes. Your gnome drifts in the direction you are looking, so aiming the camera is steering. Jump takes you up, Crouch brings you down, and holding Run gives you a burst of speed for crossing a whole garden in one go. Release every input and you stop dead in the air rather than sagging back to the grass, which is how you park above a living room and watch the owners shuffle about below before you commit. Nothing new to learn and no extra keys to bind.
Does Noclip let you get into locked rooms in Burglin' Gnomes?
Yes - Noclip is the part of Chimney Drifter that makes walls, floors and locked doors stop mattering, so a Burglin' Gnomes room you have no key for becomes a room you simply drift into. Two things are worth knowing. Noclip does nothing on its own; it only takes effect while you are actually flying, so leave flight switched on if you want to phase. And if you switch flight off while your gnome happens to be inside a wall, you get set down on the floor below instead of wedged in the brickwork, so getting back out is never a problem.
Can you change how fast Chimney Drifter flies?
Chimney Drifter has two speed sliders. Fly Speed sets your normal drifting pace, and around 8 is comfortable for moving about inside a Burglin' Gnomes house without overshooting a doorway or clipping a lampshade. Boost Speed is the separate figure you get while holding Run, which is what you want for crossing the garden or climbing to roof height in one go. Set them independently: a slow drift with a fast boost gives you careful indoor work and quick travel between houses. Both can be adjusted at any time, and turning flight off puts your gnome back to normal walking.
Is there a height limit when flying in Burglin' Gnomes?
There is, and Chimney Drifter respects it. Burglin' Gnomes hauls any gnome that climbs too high back to its burrow, so flight quietly stops short of that line rather than dropping you into a forced trip home mid-job. The other boundary is the property fence - the world past it is not somewhere a gnome survives, so keep your flying to the garden, the walls and the roof. Within those limits you have the whole house: upstairs windows, chimney pots, the gap above the kitchen units and anywhere else the stairs were never going to take you.
