Getting started in the early stages
StepThe game eases you in with shorter, simpler platforms in the first stages. Use this time to get a feel for how your character moves and lands.
- Step back for a run-up a short run before your jump carries you much farther
- Aim your landing pick a specific spot on the next platform and focus on it as you jump
- Stop before you leap come to a stop first
- Try again freely there is no penalty for falling, so repeat a jump as many times as you need
What to check when you get stuck in the middle stages
CheckStages 11 through 18 introduce longer runs and platforms that bend or change height.
- Has the camera shown you the full stage layout, or are you jumping into a blind spot?
- Are the next few platforms at the same height as where you are standing, or do they drop or rise?
- After a fall, did you land back at the correct restart point before trying again?
Surviving the final five stages
TipsThe last stretch of the game combines moving floors, rotating floors, and slippery floors.
- Watch a moving floor go through its full cycle before you commit to a jump
- Treat each of these stages as its own separate challenge
- If a platform sequence feels like a puzzle, mentally trace the route a few times before moving
- Taking a long break and coming back fresh is a genuine strategy when a stage keeps stopping you
