    • Basics
      • Goal
        • The goal of each stage is to make it safely through the exit door.
        • Before you can go through the exit door you must collect all the keys on each stage to unlock it.
      • Obstacles
        • Hit any obstacle & it is instant death.
        • Spikes – remain fixed.
          • When falling platforms fall onto spikes the platforms provide enough height to keep you above the spikes.
        • Lasers – move back and forth or up and down along regular paths.
          • You often need to use the teleport warping feature to get past these.
        • Medieval flails – swing back and forth on a regular pendulum-like arc.
          • You can jump through the chain portion but can not touch the spiked ball portion.
      • Features
        • Fixed platforms – remain in place & allow you to stand on them forever.
        • Falling platforms – some platforms are held up by rockets.
          • You can step on them for a short period of time & then they fall away.
        • Warps
          • You can lay a portal anywhere on the stage & then later return to it.
          • Warp portals are good for:
            • returning to a high part of the level after traveling to a lower area
            • allowing you to get past a solid laser beam by having you set a warp portal partway through its path & then warp to it after the laser is on the other side of you
            • safely returning after reaching keys floating in space above spikes
    • Levels
      • This game has 29 stages which are unlocked sequentially.
        • You can go back and replay previously beat levels at any time.
      • Winning vs losing
        • You beat a level by collecting all the keys & safely ing through the exit gate.
        • You lose a level if you run into spikes, lasers, or medieval flails.
        • This game offers unlimited continues, starting you at the beginning of the failed level.
        • On some stages it is possible to get stuck on a low part of the stage or knock down a temporary platform which is needed to get higher.
          • When this happens you can run into an obstacle, or if none are present you can tap the pause button then select the level restart button on the level overview screen.
    • Tips
      • Jumping
        • This game is generally rather forgiving with jump timing.
          • There are few locations where you need to make a precision jump.
          • We try to cover most the tricky jumps in the level advice section below.
        • If you are unsure of your jump timing you can go through the chain on the Medieval flails, but can not touch the spiked ball part.
        • Be sure to have your jumps onto falling platforms timed well because you will often need to jump again quickly when you land on them to reach another falling platform or a higher fixed platform.
      • Warping
        • Be sure to only lay a warp portal for teleporting when you will need it later.
          • If you lay them where they are not needed you may end up not being able to lay one later when they are needed.
        • When laying portals in laser paths you need to be sure you are well past the near edge of the laser’s path to drop it.
          • Then you wait for another cycle and warp across.
      • Level advice
        • Level 2: place a portal near the start, fall down to collect the key, jump across to the exit. Levels 3 & 4 are similar to level 2, with level 4 requiring using the portal feature twice.
        • Level 5: walk to the middle of the first laser path, move left out of its path, and when the laser is left of your portal warp to the portal. Perform the same sequence again for the second laser. Drop a portal near the end of the level at the top, jump over to the key & fall down to the door. If you miss the key use the portal to try again.
        • Level 11: you can jump through the chain portion of the Medieval flails. Jump through while they are moving in the opposite direction you are.
        • Level 12: place a portal near the level start. The Medieval flails move at different speeds. Wait until they are out of sync to jump. Go across and collect the keys then warp back to the exit.
        • Level 13: you have to stand on the falling platform, wait for it to drop a bit below the horizontal laser, set down a portal in space, then jump back up onto the top platform. When the laser is above your portal location warp to it and fall to the bottom. Jump across to collect the key at the bottom right, then collect the middle key and move across to the exit.
        • Level 14: collect the top right key. Place a portal on the left side of the top middle platform. When the laser is in the upper part fall past it and collect the lower left key, then warp back. Time a similar drop where you place the portal in the middle of the screen then fall to the left side. After the laser moves up warp back to the middle and fall down the right side to collect the key and exit.
        • Level 15: time your jumps right to avoid the Medieval flails while collecting the keys. Place a portal on the exit platform, then fall down to grab the key and warp back.
        • Level 16: go right across the top to collect the top key. Fall down on left side and use falling platforms to move back right toward the exit door. Wait until the platforms fall all the way down to jump so you do not catch your head on the ceiling.
        • Level 17: grab the right key at your level, climb the 2 temporary platforms, then jump left onto the fixed platform. Drop a portal atop the platform then fall onto the brick holding the Medieval flails. Fall to the opposite side of the Medieval flails and collect that key then warp back up. Jump right across the screen and collect the keys. Land just right of the right spike on the ground to make the jump to capture the final key.
        • Level 18: lay down a warp portal at your starting point. Collect the lower keys, warp back to the starting point and then jump across the top to the right to collect the final keys and exit.
        • Level 19: set a warp portal at your starting point, then fall down and collect the left key. Time your jump to the platform with the second key for when the bottom left laser is near its far left. Time your next jump to the final key so you can jump through the chain portion of the second Medieval flails. You may need to do a short jump over the first Medieval flails to have the timing correct for doing a full long jump over the next. Move back and forth as needed until you can fall down and drop a warp portal. Move left across the bottom out of range of the laser & then warp across to the other side of the rightmost laser when the laser is left of the portal location.
        • Level 20: drop down and go immediately left below the leftmost lower platform. Time grabbing the far left key for when you will avoid the laser then go under the leftmost platform. Time moving to the second bottom platform, but walk atop it, then go under the third platform and wait there until you have enough time to use the two floating platforms to jump up and collect the second key. Set a warp portal near the exit door, grab the final key, & warp back.
        • Level 21: jump across the spikes to the right to collect the first key. Move back left on the next platform down, walking under the Medieval flails when the time is right. Jump to collect the next 2 keys, then fall down to the exit door.
        • Level 23: leave a warp portal to the right edge of the top left floating platform & jump back left. Warp to the portal and keep jumping right while collecting the first 2 keys. Skip the final key and make your way all the way to the final platform with an exit. Place a warp portal at the exit. Fall to grab the final key and then warp back to the exit.
        • Level 24: repeatedly place a warp, fall to collect the key, and jump across to the next platform (3 times). Grab the final right key and time your jumps back left to the level exit.
        • Level 25: place a warp portal where you start, then fall down without hitting the floating platform. Collect the key and warp back. Then walk across onto the floating platform, let it fall slightly and jump right to the next big fixed platform. Set another warp portal and time your jumps across to collect the top right key. Warp back, collect the remaining lower key & then exit through the door.
        • Level 26: fall down to the lower platform just below where you start. Do a stunted half-jump (quick press) while moving right so that you have the arc of your fall last until the ground and you do not hit the wall to your right. Land past the spikes, collect the first key, jump the floating platforms to collect the second key & then the third key to the left. Set a warp portal before you jump and then jump out onto the brick holding the Medieval flails. Jump right to the floating platform, jump from it to collect the last key, and then fall down to the exit.
        • Level 27: place a warp portal then fall left to the key and warp back up. After collecting the first key and warping back you need to move right across the floating platforms. Time your jump so you can go through the chain of the Medieval flails then up the right side and immediately land on the brick holding up the Medieval flails. Jump left across to the platform near the exit & then after it falls briefly jump across to the exit.
        • Level 28: use the drop portal, move back, warp across technique twice in a row to get past the 2 lasers. Jump onto the first falling platform and sit there. When the Medieval flails is above you and to the left jump right & keep jumping until you collect the top right key. Fall with the platform to rest just above the spikes. Time your move back to avoid the Medieval flails, then use the drop portal and warp across technique to get past the first laser and make it to the level exit.
        • Level 29: Jump across right on the lower floating platforms until you reach the last one, then jump up onto the brick holding up the Medieval flails. Drop a warp portal, jump across to the top right floating platform, jump to collect the top key & then right as you collect the bottom key warp back. Jump left across the top 3 floating platforms, letting each fall slightly before making your next jump.
        • Level 30: “Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein’s general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.” – Stephen Hawking
