Getting started
StepWhen you load in, follow the prompts from the lobby to reach the first stage. Everything you need — moving, jumping, and any other basic actions — is available from the start, and no purchase is required to attempt any stage.
- Try the controls use the first stage to test movement and jumping before worrying about reaching the goal.
- Finish the tutorial follow the on-screen instructions and aim for the goal point to complete it.
How difficulty grows as you climb
SummaryBecause the game is structured as a tower you climb from bottom to top, every stage you pass makes the next one a little more demanding. You can return to any earlier stage at any time, which makes going back to practice a real option whenever you hit a wall.
- Early stages best for learning the controls without pressure, so fail freely here.
- Later stages designed for experienced players; not clearing them quickly is completely normal.
- No spending required every stage is open without paying anything.
Movement and jump timing
TipsThe whole game is built around accurate movement, and that accuracy comes from repetition more than anything else. Study the layout of a stage before you start jumping, because knowing where the platforms are saves you from panicking mid-run.
- Look at the whole stage before you move — spot the goal and every platform between you and it.
- Adjust your camera angle so no platform is hidden behind the scenery.
- If one stage is blocking you, head back to an earlier one and drill your movement there first.
What to check when you keep failing a stage
CheckThere is no penalty for failing and no limit on retries, so you can afford to slow down and diagnose the problem.
- Are your inputs landing correctly check that buttons are responding without noticeable delay.
- Can you see every platform adjust the camera until the full path to the goal is visible.
- Do you know where the goal is confirm the exact endpoint before you start jumping toward it.
- Have you tried restarting the stage reloading can reset the stage state and clear up odd behaviour.
Staying safe while you play
WarnDifficult stages ask for sustained concentration. Keep sessions short enough that you stay focused, and stop immediately if anything inside the game asks for real-world information.

Common questions
FAQI cannot clear a stage no matter what I do — what should I try?
Step back and look at the whole stage layout again before your next attempt, making sure your camera shows every platform. Then go back to an easier stage, practice your movement there, and return once your timing feels sharper. There is no limit on retries, so take as long as you need.
Do I need to spend money to see everything in the game?
No — every stage is available without paying anything. You can work through the whole tower at your own pace for free.
Can I play with friends?
