More about this game
Your goal is to navigate through 100 levels and reach the portal at the end of each stage while collecting up to three golden crystals. The core loop involves running, jumping, and grappling onto glowing anchors to build momentum and swing across wide gaps. Difficulty increases as you encounter moving platforms, deadly spike pits, walking ground patrols, and flying bats with complex movement patterns. A run ends when you touch a hazard, fall off the screen into the abyss, or successfully enter the purple portal to clear the level.
Tips
- You can safely stomp on the walking ground patrols by jumping on them from above. This defeats them and gives you a helpful vertical jump boost.
- To maximize your swing distance and speed, release the grapple line when you are at the lowest point of your arc to launch yourself forward.
- Activate the blue checkpoints by passing near them. If you fall or hit a hazard, you will respawn at the active checkpoint instead of the beginning.
FAQ
- How do I get three stars on a level?
- You earn one star simply for completing the level, a second star for collecting all three golden crystals, and a third star for finishing the level faster than the target time.
- How do I defeat the different enemies?
- You can defeat the walking ground patrols by jumping directly on top of them. However, you cannot defeat the flying bats, so you must carefully time your swings to avoid them completely.
- Why can't I grapple onto a specific anchor?
- You can only grapple onto the specific glowing anchors scattered throughout the level, and you must be within the grapple range of 720 units to successfully attach your hook.
