With this simplicity, it takes seconds to learn how to play, but a very long time to fully master each stage. There are seven stages, each with their own unique boss battles and stage mechanics. One stage will have you use switches to open parts of the stage up, while opening new threats, Another will be about timing, hiding behind pillars. Each stage takes time to learn and master. Once you beat a stage, look at your time and try to get a better one with your newfound mastery. Every stage outside of the final stage has 5 hidden coins to collect for true completion. Some can be gotten with special movements made to teach and test the player, some require going out of the way to get them. Coins are always interesting and fun to collect, and getting all 30 unlocks the final stage. Can you Leap to the Top?

But deadly hazards are aplenty, from spikes and spinning saw blades to creatures and carnivorous plants!

Take the role of a valiant knight as you creep through the corners of each maze-like dungeon, picking up an axe and shield to defeat foes that stand in your way, hopping on the heads of monsters when you’re disarmed and locating keys to open the door to the next chamber, each more challenging than the one before. Use double jumps to avoid traps and reach obscured platforms. But don’t worry too much… If you do fall victim to the dungeon’s many perils, you’ll instantly restart at the last door, allowing you to try as many times as it takes!

The Game
As the unicorn Big Yeetus you have to run along a parcour to the top of the castle. Most things in the game will kill you instantly if you touch them. This is a difficult game that takes some practice to beat. When you have learned how to pass a section you can finish it very fast though.

Story?!
There is a big party on top of the castle, but Big Yeetus is late! The entry has already closed, so they need to find another way up to join the party.

How To Play
You can walk, jump and rotate. The cam will follow your movement, but the 3rd person perspective doesn't make it easier sometimes. Avoid all the traps on the way up and master the difficult jumps, and use the few checkpoints to respawn if you die.

What to Expect
If you are very fast you can complete the full course in a few minutes. But getting this fast will take A LOT of practice, so you will die very often and you will have to restart from the bottom very often. The course is built so player skill and experience matters most, there are basically no RNG components in the game.
