Features

- 5 handcrafted levels: each with its own layout, hazards, and enemy density, growing from tutorial-gentle to brutal finale

- Gravity flip mechanic: invert gravity on a short cooldown; the ceiling is your second floor

- Air dash: blast through enemies or close gaps; dash-kills score bonus points

- 3 platform types: normal, ice (slippery), and crumbling platforms that disintegrate under your feet

- Checkpoints: mid-level save flags so a single death doesn't cost you everything

- Enemy variety: patrolling walkers and hovering diamond eyes; stomp or dash through them for combo points

- Combo system: chain gem pickups and stomps to multiply your score

- Speedrun timer: each level tracks your clear time with time-bonus scoring; best times are saved locally

- Level select: replay any unlocked level to chase better times or higher scores

- Procedural ambient soundtrack: a generative drone that evolves as you play

- Parallax star field: the void always looks good

- In-game donations: a payment can be done though Stripe in-game or on the support button underneath the game window

Tips

- Crumble platforms give access to secret areas and bonus gems, but don't dawdle

- Ice platforms carry momentum; use them to build speed for hard jumps

- Find the hidden secret on each level for a +500 point bonus
