    • You only have a limited number of jumps.
      • The number of jumps you’re allowed to have vary by level.
      • You can collect hearts to replenish the number of jumps you have.
      • One misstep can cost you the entire level.
    • If you find a level too difficult to solve at the moment, you can skip it.

    • Avoid the hazards. Hitting them is an instant game over.
      • The red spikes move in a predictable pattern. Time your moves to avoid them.
      • Falling floors will lead to stationary silver spikes. Move quickly while on top of them.
  • Levels
    • The 25 levels of this game are unlocked sequentially.
    • You can replay any of the levels you’ve already beaten.
  • Winning vs. losing
    • To win, you must reach the flag with at least one remaining jump.
      • The game automatically loads the level you
    • You can lose in any of the following ways:
      • You run out of jumps.
      • You hit a spike.
  • Tips
    • Jump over obstacles rather than hopping onto them.
      • This way, you’re less likely to waste jumps getting off them.
    • Unless the situation demands otherwise (smaller spaces, spikes, etc.), choose longer jumps that let you clear multiple platforms or obstacles at once.
    • Move carefully. You’re more likely to clear obstacles if you’re patient with timing your jumps.
      • This is especially true if you’re trying to avoid spikes.
      • Move quickly only in the presence of falling floor tiles beneath you or red spikes that are coming at you.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like simple platformer games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
