More about this game
Your goal is to climb as high as possible by jumping between platforms in a deep canyon. The core loop requires you to time your leaps carefully, because every platform begins to melt the moment your boots touch down. You have exactly 2.15 seconds before your footing completely disappears and drops you into the abyss. The run ends immediately if you fall off the bottom of the screen or fail to reach the next safe ledge. Earning a higher altitude score requires quick reflexes.
Tips
- Do not rush your jumps. You have over two seconds before the platform vanishes, giving you plenty of time to align your leap and check the distance.
- Watch for the platform to start shaking. This happens at exactly 62 percent of the melt time, warning you to jump immediately before the floor gives out.
- Use the jump buffer to your advantage. Tapping slightly before you land ensures you bounce off instantly without losing momentum.
Questions
How long do the platforms last?
Each platform gives you exactly 2.15 seconds of safety after you land. A progress bar at the base of the platform shows how much time remains before it breaks.
Why did my character fall through the floor?
If you stand on a platform until its melt timer runs out, the structure becomes dead and loses its collision, causing your character to fall into the canyon.
How is my score calculated in this game?
Your altitude score increases by one point every time you successfully land on a new platform. Reaching higher platforms sets your best record for future runs, which is saved automatically.
