DONT SWIM 🚫🏊
The core rule you must never break
Warn
The entire game is built around one rule: do not swim. If you swim at any point while moving through a stage, you fail. Every stage is set in a pool-like area, which means the temptation — or the accidental slip — is always there.

Step
The game is made up of multiple levels that you clear one at a time.

- Work through every level in sequence until all are done

TipsOnce you have cleared all the levels, the Worm appears. Getting caught by it ends your run, so the moment it shows up, your focus shifts entirely to escape.
