Shaftbound Survival Strategy

Survival requires more than just fast fingers. You need to study the environment before you swing. Watch the patterns of hazards and use your grappling hook to maintain speed. Momentum carries you through difficult gaps, so do not stop moving unless you have to. Collect rewards scattered throughout the levels to help your progress. If you find yourself stuck, remember that every failure teaches you a new path. Practice your timing on the early stages to prepare for the extreme difficulty found in the later levels. You can find more challenging titles on Y8 to keep your skills sharp.
