Core mechanics before you start

Check

In short Understanding your rod limit and the restock box is the foundation of everything else in this game.

You carry exactly three metal rods at a time, and you use them to get through terrain you cannot cross by jumping alone. When you run out, you are stuck until you find a restock box. The menu opens with M, Y, or the triangle button, and if your mouse feels locked you can free it with V.

You start every attempt with three rods that is your hard cap.
Restock boxes are placed around each stage; touching one refills you to the maximum.
Open the menu with M, Y, or △ at any time.
Press V if you need to unlock your mouse mid-session.
Checkpoints are sparse, so a single mistake can send you back a long way.

Stage order and the rods you earn

Step

In short Each stage you finish hands you a badge and a themed rod, so working through them in order is the clearest path forward.

The game runs you through six stages after the tutorial. Every stage completion rewards both a badge and a rod named after that environment.

Tutorial finish it to earn the Beginner Climber badge and learn the controls.
Plains clear this to earn the Novice Climber badge and the Grassy rod.
Snow clear this to earn the Intermediate Climber badge and the Ice rod.
Cave clear this to earn the Experienced Climber badge and the Rock rod.
Desert clear this to earn the Professional Climber badge and the Sand rod.
City clear this to earn the Expert Climber badge and the Brick rod.

Making the most of sparse checkpoints

Warn

In short Because checkpoints are rare, protecting your progress means thinking before every rod throw.

One mistake can cost you all your progress. That pressure is worst when you approach a hard section with an empty inventory.

Worth watching out for

Never enter a difficult section on zero rods look for a restock box first.

If you passed a restock box without stopping, go back and use it before pushing ahead.

Milestone badges beyond stage clears

Table

In short Two extra badges reward volume of play rather than stage completion.

Alongside the six stage badges there are two more that track cumulative actions across your whole time in the game.

Grim Landmark	awarded after dying 50 times in total.
Resourceful	awarded after throwing 100 rods in total.

Glossary

Rod: A metal rod you carry and throw to navigate terrain; you can hold a maximum of three at once.
Restock box: An object found throughout each stage that refills your rods back to the three-rod maximum when you touch it.
Checkpoint: A respawn point you are sent back to when you die; Overhang places very few of them per stage.

Common questions

FAQ

What happens when I run out of rods?

You cannot progress through terrain that requires a rod until you find a restock box and refill.

How do I open the menu or fix a stuck mouse?

Press M, Y, or the triangle button to open the menu. If your mouse is locked and you need to move it freely, press V to unlock it.
