THAT'S ALL. - Tap = small hop - Hold = big jump No joysticks, no swipes, no complicated tutorials. If you can tap, you can play. BRUTALLY HARD. ALWAYS FAIR. - Every path has a mid-course checkpoint. Hit a trap and you are back on your feet in about one second. - All 50 stages are verified to be clearable. Every jump has been checked, so the only thing between you and the goal is your timing. - New traps appear as you progress through 5 chapters, from the gentle First Path to the merciless Starry Path.
