Leap across floating platforms and master a time-slowing mechanic to reach the summit of a surreal low-poly tower.
How to play
- Move your character toward the next floating platform.
- Press jump to leap across the gaps between platforms.
- Hold the slow button to reduce game speed during difficult jumps.
- Avoid staying on striped collapsing platforms for more than 0.75 seconds.
- Reach the summit platform at 128 meters to complete your run.
Controls
- Touch
- Use the left stick to move, drag the right side to orbit, and tap Jump or hold Slow.
- Keyboard
- Use WASD or Arrows to move, Space to jump, and Left Shift to slow time.
- Mouse
- Click and drag on the right side of the screen to orbit the camera 360 degrees.
More about this game
Your goal is to scale a massive tower by jumping between floating platforms across five distinct biomes, starting in the Slums and ending in Space at 128 meters. The core loop involves timing your jumps across moving, tilting, and collapsing platforms while managing your stamina to slow time during tricky sections. The difficulty increases as you encounter faster hazards and smaller landing zones. A run ends when you successfully land on the final summit platform, stopping the speedrun timer.
Tips
- You have 120 milliseconds of coyote time, meaning you can still jump just after walking off a platform edge.
- Slow time drains your stamina at 27 points per second from a maximum of 100, so only use it when necessary.
- Booster platforms multiply your jump power by 1.48, allowing you to skip sections or reach much higher platforms easily.
Questions
How do collapsing platforms work?
Collapsing platforms are marked with diagonal stripes. Once you land on them, you have exactly 0.75 seconds before they fall at a speed of 10, resetting after dropping 16 meters.
How does stamina recover?
Your stamina meter recovers automatically at a rate of 18 points per second whenever you are not holding the slow time button, up to the maximum of 100.
What are the different biomes?
The tower is split into five biomes based on altitude: Slums at 0 meters, Industrial at 26 meters, Highways at 52 meters, Ruins at 78 meters, and Space at 104 meters.
