Mechanics

The control scheme is lean and responsive. Master it, and the platforming feels effortless.

• Use WASD or Arrow keys for the player’s movement
• Use W or Up arrow key twice for double jump

Strategy

Start each level by scouting the layout. Spot the ghost patrol routes and the placement of spikes before you commit to a path. Prioritize collecting strawberries that sit near dangerous obstacles; they’re often the key to a high score. Use the double jump sparingly—timing beats brute force. When you see a giant blade swing, retreat to a safe platform and wait for the pattern to reset. The later stages introduce moving platforms and tighter corridors; keep your movements tight and your eyes on the horizon. Remember, each red flag only appears after you’ve cleared the strawberry quota, so don’t rush the collection phase. Mastering the rhythm of jumping and platform timing will shave seconds off your run and boost your leaderboard rank.
