The Library
Detailing everything in the game so far.
Basic Skills
- General Movement: WASD (W is Up, A is Left, S is Down, D is Right)
- Jump: Press K to Jump. The longer you hold K the higher you jump, a maximum height of four blocks.
- Running: Hold J to speed up to a running pace.
- Running Jump: While you hold J and start to run, you'll jump one block higher, a maximum height of five blocks.
- Flip Jump: Press L to start front flipping. Your jump will be lower, three block max, but you'll be more hardy, able to jump on things you otherwise couldn't, like spiky enemies.
- Attack: Press semicolon to attack. This allows you to damage enemies from the side.
- Duck: Hold down to make the character duck, lowering the hit box, but stopping you from moving.
- Look Up: Hold Up/W to make the character look up. (This doesn't do anything, just looks nice).
Emotes
Just fun ways to interact with other players without chatting.
- Press and hold 1 to wave.
- Press and hold 2 to floss.
- Press and hold 3 to do push-ups.
- Press and hold 4 to do sit-ups.
- Press and hold 5 to sit down.
- Press and hold 6 to lay down.
Advanced Skills
- Triple Jump: Jump three times in a row at max running speed and you'll start flipping, jumping one block higher than a running jump, a total of 6 blocks.
- Backflip: With no horizontal speed (not moving) Duck, and then press K (jump button) to perform a back flip. This jump is almost as high as a triple jump, 5.5 blocks, with a fixed trajectory.
- Ground Pound: While in the air, press down to perform a ground pound. You'll rotate downwards, then slam towards the ground with great force. This will knock enemies out of the way while damaging them. It will also activate blocks, like ! Blocks or On-Off blocks. This is also a great way to stall momentum while in the air, granting more control of your motion mid-air.
- Ground Pound Cancel: While doing a ground pound, press up to pull yourself out of the Ground Pound animation.
- Air Float: While in the air (normal jump only), press L to suspend yourself in air for a brief moment. This gives you a little bit more time to manipulate your landings.
- Dodge Roll: Duck, then press L to perform a Dodge Roll. This allows you to pass through most enemies and dodge projectiles. This also allows you to jump after rolling away from a ledge.
Solid Blocks
These all have collision on each side, top, right, left, bottom.
- Ground: Normal friction, nothing too crazy.
- Hard Blocks: Same idea as ground, different texture.
- Ice Blocks: Less friction than normal, slippery.
- Honey Blocks: More friction than normal, sticky.
- Tar Blocks: Infinite friction, holds you in place, very stuck.
- Spikes: Red Heart damage on contact. Try not to touch.
- Sticky Spikes: Red Heart damage on contact, but it's like Tar, holds you in place.
- Death Blocks: Touching these will end your life on contact.
- Vine Blocks: Normal friction, and can always climb the bottom and sides.
- S-Blocks: Solid and Dashed (can pass through) variants. When the S-Timer is active, they switch, then switch back when it expires.
- No-Player Blocks: Blocks that the player can pass through, but enemies, items, and objects cannot.
- Only-Player Blocks: Blocks that the player cannot pass through, but enemies, items, and objects can.
- Treadmill: Left and right variants, they move you in one direction when standing on them.
- Key Block: Normal block, removed when a key makes contact with it.
- Exclamation Block: Hit from underneath to reveal hidden items, objects, or enemies. Ground Pounds can activate this as well.
- On-Off Block: Hit from underneath to change the global On-Off state of the level. This will turn solid blue/red blocks dashed, and vice versa. Ground Pounds can activate this as well.
- Kaizo Blocks: Dashed and Invisible variants. They allow you to pass through from every side but the bottom. When hit from underneath, they turn completely solid.
- Part Block: If you have 100 parts and you touch this block it disappears, taking the parts with it. Think of it like a pay gate. Enemies drop parts when defeated for you to collect.
- Teleport Block: Each block links to a designated counterpart of the same color. Standing still and pressing Up starts transport.
- Portal Block: Each block links to a designated counterpart of the same color. Jump into this to start transport. On exit, the portal will be disabled until you move 2 blocks away, then it will activate again (so you don't get caught in a loop).
Platforms
All of these can be passed through from most sides.
- Semi-Solid Platform: You can stand on these, but pass through every other side.
- Falling Platform: When you land on these they start to fall, taking you with them.
- Rising Platform: When you land on these they start to rise, taking you with them.
- Left-Right Platform: These continually move left and right, on a fixed distance and speed.
- Up-Down Platform: These continually move up and down, on a fixed distance and speed.
- One-Ways: They allow you to pass through every side but the one the arrow is pointing to.
- Rope: Can climb up and under these. Jump on them from above and hold Up/W to grab hold. Press Down to dismount.
Liquids
You can swim in bodies of water, WASD for direction. Hold J to swim faster.
- Water: Pretty standard, nothing too crazy here.
- Holy Water: Like regular water, but heals red heart damage on contact.
- Poison: You continually take red heart damage while swimming in it.
- Honey: You swim much slower in honey.
- Tar: You swim even slower in tar.
- Lava: Making contact with lava will kill you instantly.

Goals
Static areas that float and stay still, for various purposes.
- No Weapon: Removes any held weapon you have.
- No Gloves: Removes any currently equipped gloves.
- Checkpoint: Touch to activate. You start back here on death. Every item you picked up, gear you equipped, is all saved at the time of hitting the checkpoint. This should create more of a Metroidvania style to levels. You can pick up a pair of gloves, hit the checkpoint, and then still have the gloves on restart. Object locations and enemies are reset.
- Key Orb: Make contact with this with a held key and the level will be completed. Otherwise it's inert. You can place as many 'exits' as you want.
- Orb: Finishes the level on contact. You can place as many 'exits' as you want.
Leveling System
Certain courses, like the Campaign, Endless Level, or FyreFight, will allow you to level up as you progress.
- When you pick up Parts dropped from enemies you will gain experience.
- When you have enough, you'll gain another level.
- When you level up you are offered a choice from 3 randomly generated power-ups, of varying rarities.
- Choose wisely, it will affect how you play the game.
