More about this game
In this auto-running platformer, your goal is to survive a 5-screen gauntlet of deadly traps and reach the victory portal. Your paper square runs forward automatically at 840 speed, so you must carefully time your jumps to avoid spikes, spinning blades, and pits. You can also design custom levels using the built-in editor. Difficulty increases as you face complex combinations of moving blades and the Prism Warden boss. A run ends instantly if you hit any hazard or fall into a pit.
Tips
- The Prism Warden boss has 5 HP by default. You must collect the energy orbs scattered across the level to automatically fire rockets and defeat it.
- In the editor, items snap to a 40-unit grid. Spikes automatically snap to the top of ground surfaces, while hanging spikes snap underneath floating platforms.
- The game features a 0.1-second jump grace period when running off a ledge, allowing you to make tight jumps even if you press the button slightly late.
Questions
How do I defeat the Prism Warden?
You need to collect the yellow energy orbs scattered throughout the boss level. Each orb you collect temporarily freezes the screen and automatically fires a rocket that deals 1 damage to the boss.
Can I make my own custom levels?
Yes, tap the Edit button to open the level maker. You can place ground blocks, floating platforms, spikes, and four different types of spinning blades to create your own gauntlet.
How long is each custom level?
Each level spans exactly 5 screens in width. You can use the editor's horizontal scroll bar to view and modify all 5 screens before testing your creation.
