How to Play
Tap or click to make the minion leap from platform to platform. Hold the button longer to adjust the jump distance and clear wider gaps safely.
Tips for Playing
- Watch the gap size before committing to a jump — short hops are safer for close platforms.
- Time your jumps when the moving platforms are closest to you to avoid overshooting.
- Take a brief pause between leaps to steady your aim instead of rushing.
- Aim for the center of each platform to give yourself more room for corrections.
- Memorize the rhythm of tricky sections so you can anticipate the next move with ease.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I miss a jump?
