  • Basics
    • This is a level escape game where the goal is to get to the white diamond at the end of each stage.
      • You can walk or jump into diamonds in early levels.
      • On later levels you need to die to turn to spirit form to float across the screen, and then turn back into regular form when you are over a diamond or inside the same area of the diamond where you can walk or jump into it.
    • In addition to regular movement by walking and jumping there are two additional movement types in this game:
      • The game has rings you can activate as respawn points if you die.
      • Whenever you run into spikes and your character dies it flies in a straight line to the most recently activated ring.
    • The last few stages of the game also have a series of small red squares you must collect to open the exit portal.
  • Game features
    • Rings – these operate as respawn locations for when you die.
      • If you walk past the floor of a ring you activate it.
      • If you jump over the floor part of a ring when you pass it then you won’t activate the ring.
    • Spikes – whenever you run into spikes you will move in a straight line path to whichever ring is activated.
    • Spirit flying – whenever you die you fly to the respawn ring in a straight path.
      • You must exit the spirit mode into regular mode to be able to exit through the diamond.
    • Red dots – later levels have a series of red dots on them.
      • You must collect all the red dots for the exit portal to work.
  • Levels
    • This game has 15 stages which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can replay previously beat levels at any time.
    • Winning vs losing
      • You win a level by going through the white diamond exit portal.
        • You must exit in human (rather than spirit) form.
        • On the later levels you must collect all the red blocks before going through the exit.
      • You don’t lose this game by dying, as dying is required to navigate to hard to reach areas.
      • The only way to lose in this game is to get stuck on a platform you can’t easily move from or to get stuck in an enclosed area with no spikes before you have collected all the red dots.
        • If you get stuck press the R key to restart the level.
        • This game offers unlimited continues.
  • Tips
    • Rings
      • On some stages with many rings you have to jump over some of them to leave a prior ring activated.
        • Activating the wrong ring can make it impossible to have the correct angle to collect the red boxes or exit the stage.
        • If you activate the wrong ring you’ll need to either go back and reactivate the correct ring, or restart the level.
      • In some cases you need to deactivate spirit mode while at the ring and immediately jump while moving to the side to make it across to a platform or a high floating red dot.
      • To collect red dots and exit through the portal you may need to use a ring that is on the opposite side of the screen in order to have the correct flight angle.
    • Spirit form
      • You can pass through platforms while in spirit form.
      • You can only move back into regular human form when you are not passing through a platform.
      • In many cases you need to repeatedly switch between spirit form and walking to access different platforms along the journey & enable you to make it to hard to reach areas.
    • Screen wrap
      • On multiple levels the screen wraps.
      • On levels where the screen wraps you frequently need to fall through the bottom of the stage to reappear near the top to land on spikes or to enable landing on a platform to reposition your character.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like level escape logic puzzle games.
    • While the character repeatedly dies in this game there is no blood or gore and the character is shown in a low resolution pixelated body.
  • Other than the above the game has no adult themed content.

Shakespeare on Death

“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.”
― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
