âš™ī¸ Core Mechanics

Automatic Jumping

Your Data Pulse automatically jumps when landing on any platform. You don't need to press a button to jump - just focus on horizontal movement to land on the next platform!

Horizontal Wrapping

When you move off the left edge of the screen, you'll appear on the right side (and vice versa). Use this to your advantage when platforms are positioned near the edges!

Dynamic Camera

The camera smoothly follows you upward as you climb. If you fall below the bottom of the screen, it's game over! Keep climbing to avoid falling into the void.

Scoring

Your score is your height - the higher you climb, the better your score. Every 10 units of height = 1 point.

🎨 Platform Types

🟩 Stable Platforms (Green)

Standard platforms that provide a normal jump. These are your bread and butter, especially in the early game. They never disappear or move.

⚡ Boost Pads (Bright Green)

Provide 2x jump height! Landing on consecutive Boost Pads increases your Pulse Multiplier, which can help you skip difficult sections. They also trigger screen shake for extra feedback.

đŸ‘ģ Flicker Platforms (Gray)

These platforms disappear 1 second after you step on them. They'll start flickering when you land, warning you they're about to vanish. Don't get stuck on one!

â†”ī¸ Shifting Platforms (Blue)

Move horizontally at varying speeds. You need to time your landing and account for their movement. During Glitch States, they move even faster!

💀 Glitch Traps (Red)

Dangerous platforms that subtract 10 points and reduce your next jump height. Avoid these when possible! Landing on one also resets your Pulse Multiplier.

✨ Special Systems

🌀 The Glitch Mechanic

Every 500 points, the game enters a Glitch State for 5 seconds:

The Glitch Meter shows your progress toward the next Glitch State.

⚡ Pulse Combo System

Land on consecutive Boost Pads without touching a standard platform to build your Pulse Multiplier. Higher multipliers mean bigger jumps, but landing on any non-boost platform or a Glitch Trap resets it.

💎 Data Shards

Small glowing collectibles that float above platforms. Collecting shards fills your Burst Meter:

â˜ī¸ Static Clouds (Hazards)

Pink glowing clouds that appear at higher difficulty levels. Touching one subtracts 20 points, so maneuver around them carefully. During Burst Mode, you're invincible and can pass through them safely.

📈 Difficulty Scaling

As you climb higher, the game becomes progressively harder:

Every 200 points represents a new difficulty level with adjusted probabilities.

đŸŽ¯ Objectives

  1. Survive - Don't fall below the camera view
  2. Climb Higher - Maximize your height for a better score
  3. Collect Shards - Fill your Burst Meter for emergency escapes
  4. Manage Glitch States - Use the reduced gravity to your advantage
  5. Beat the Zenith Record - Surpass your high score!
