More about this game
Your goal is to reach the portal at the end of each level. You must run, jump, and use your grappling hook to swing from glowing anchors, building momentum to cross large gaps. Along the way, you can collect up to three crystals per level. As you progress through the 100 levels, you will face moving platforms, spikes, ground patrols, and flying bats. A run ends if you fall off the screen, touch a hazard, or get hit by an enemy, respawning you at the last checkpoint.
Tips
- You can stomp on ground patrols by landing directly on top of them. This defeats the enemy and bounces you upward, which is useful for reaching higher areas.
- Use your movement inputs while grappling to boost your swing speed. Pushing in the direction of your swing adds extra momentum to launch you further when you release.
- Activate checkpoints by passing near them. They will change color to cyan when active, ensuring you respawn there instead of the beginning if you hit spikes or fall.
Questions
How do I get three stars on a level?
You earn one star simply for reaching the portal and completing the level. You earn a second star for collecting all three crystals, and a third star for finishing before the target time.
Can I defeat the enemies in the game?
You can defeat the ground patrols by jumping and landing directly on top of them. However, you cannot defeat the flying bats or spikes, so you must carefully swing around them.
How many levels are in the campaign?
There are 100 levels in the Sky Garden campaign. As you progress, the levels introduce new challenges like moving platforms, spike weaves, ground patrols, and complex bat routes.
