More about this game
In this auto-running platformer, you control a paper square sprinting at a constant speed across five-screen levels. You must time your jumps over ground spikes, hanging traps, and moving circular blades to reach the finish portal. The game includes a full level editor where you can place floating platforms and hazards on a grid to create your own challenges. A run ends instantly if you touch any trap, forcing you to restart the level from the beginning and try again to survive the gauntlet.
Tips
- Your jump power is fixed at 1950, so time your leaps carefully to clear the 82-unit wide spikes without hitting hanging traps above.
- In the boss level, the Prism Warden throws ground spikes at a speed of 820; watch the windup animation to time your jumps.
- When building levels, remember that spikes snap to the top of ground platforms and hanging spikes snap underneath floating platforms on the 40-unit grid.
Questions
How do I defeat the Prism Warden?
You need to collect the glowing energy orbs scattered across the boss level. Each orb you grab automatically fires a rocket, and it takes exactly five hits to shatter the boss completely.
Can I share the levels I make?
The game automatically saves your custom layouts and levels locally to your device as you build them. However, there is no built-in feature to share your creations with other players online.
What happens when I hit a trap?
Touching any spike, blade, or closed door instantly shatters your square into paper confetti. You will have to restart your current attempt from the beginning of the level and try again.
