Common questions
FAQHow does my sword color change?
Your sword color updates automatically based on the highest section you clear in a run. The further up the tower you get, the higher the tier.
How hard is the top rank, Jump Map God?
The game's own badge description says this rank is for players at an expert obby level and states outright that it is absolutely not a middling skill. It is the hardest badge in the game.
What happens if I use exploits to try to earn a badge?
The game's cheat-detection system will flag you and block the badge from being awarded, no matter how high you reach. Only legitimate runs count toward badges.
