    • Spikes are permanent hazards you can readily see.
      • Touch them and you die.
      • Sometimes, the only way you can get past them is through the
    • Rock falls appear without warning.
      • Make sure you aren’t close to where they’ll fall.
      • Once the rocks have fallen, you can walk past them without issue.
    • Some hazards move.
      • A few are spikes that move up and down.
      • Others resemble evil birds and move from side to side.
      • A few resemble fish and move about freely.
      • In most levels, these moving spikes are quite easy to get around. However, some levels make them part of the challenge:
        • The keys can be destroyed by these hazards in one level.
        • In another level, they become invisible. You risk hitting them them if you didn’t memorize where they were.
  • Tips
    • While the basic controls are essential, they are not the only way to interact with the game environment.
    • We recommend clicking or tapping on various objects in the level to see what happens:
      • These include in-game mechanics such as keys or buttons.
      • You can also sometimes touch interface items like the hint box, level numbers, or level title.
    • The obvious choice isn’t always the correct one. Think outside the box.
    • When in doubt, check out our walkthrough.

Walkthrough (Spoiler Warning!)

Due to our current policy on ads, we have disabled the ad-dependent hint button for now. Use this walkthrough to guide you through all 30 levels.

• Level 1: “Very Simple”
  • Due to our current policy on ads, we have disabled the ad-dependent hint button for now.
  • Use this walkthrough to guide you through all 30 levels.
  • If you want to solve the puzzles by yourself, we recommend looking away now.
• Level 2: “The Spikes Will Destroy You”
  • Jump to the bottom and move to the left. Pick up the key there.
  • Move to the right and stop next to the spikes.
  • Wait for the moving platform to get close, then jump on it.
    • While on the platform, jump up to collect the next key.
    • Make sure you land on the platform after.
  • Once the platform gets near the right side, hop off.
  • Pick up the last key and move to the door.
• Level 3: “Be Careful”
  • Jump up to collect the first key from your starting platform.
  • Jump off the platform and move right to approach the key, then immediately move left as fast as you can.
  • Rocks will fall at this point.
  • Once the rocks have fallen, you can pick up the next key.
  • Hop onto the bumper jump to pick up the last key.
  • Once you’re done, move to the door.
• Level 4: “You Need Help”
  • With your mouse or fingers, select the hint button on the top left corner.
  • Put the box next to your alien, then have them hop onto it.
  • Move the box around with your mouse while the alien is on it to collect the keys.
  • Have the alien hop off the box and move to the door.
• Level 5: “Hero?”
  • This one is particularly challenging to figure out for newcomers.
    • The hero is not present in the level and there is no in-level way of bringing them there.
    • It introduces them to how the levels are not always solved in a straightforward manner.
    • This theme recurs throughout the game.
  • To add the hero into the level requires some literal out-of-the-box thinking.
    • Quit the level and return to the level selection screen.
    • Select the hero on the top left corner and drag them onto Level 5.
    • Select Level 5’s icon to return to the game.
  • The hero will now be present. Play as you would normally:
    • Move to the left to pick up the first star.
    • Jump or hop onto the horizontal moving platform to pick up the second star.
    • Hop onto the vertical moving platform to pick up the last star.
    • Dodge the moving blade and move to the door.
  • If you’re replaying the level, the alien is already there. There’s no need to repeat the opening mover.
• Level 6: “Where are the Keys?”
  • Hop onto the button 3 times to bring down the keys.
  • Pick them up and move to the door.
• Level 7: “Push the Button, Open the Chain”
  • Pick up the other keys as you would with any other level.
    • Jump off the platform and move to the left edge to collect the first key.
    • Move close to the button and jump up to pick up the second key.
  • Pressing the button raises the chain. Releasing it will bring it down again.
    • However, you cannot move fast enough to reach the chain before it drops.
    • With your mouse or fingers, select the button yourselves rather than have the alien do it.
    • While your fingers or cursor hold down the button while your alien runs to the last key and the door.
• Level 8: “Mario”
  • As the name suggests, this is a homage to our favorite Italian plumber. No, not his brother.
    • Hop onto the brick platforms and move under the crates.
    • Jump under the crate to hit it. This will release the keys.
  • Despite the level’s theme, you cannot Goomba stomp the birdlike hazard moving back and forth. Dodge them.
  • Move to the door and jump. This will reveal the hidden box.
  • Pick up the key above the now-unhidden box. You can now enter the door.
• Level 9: “Be Brave”
  • Walk toward the edge of your starting platform and pick up the first key.
  • On the surface, you appear to be in front of an unpassable, uncrossable pit full of spikes.
    • Jump forward anyway. If you jump far enough, you’ll see brick cubes appearing nearby.
    • If you hopped on to the brick cube, keep moving forward. More will appear
• Level 10: “How Fast Are You?”
  • This level’s rules are simple. Run to the right, then to the left, then to the right.
    • Stop only to jump.
    • Do not run into the edges (the arrow on the right edge of the center row is lying to you.
    • The obstacles will actually disappear as you run.
  • You will pick up the keys as you run.
  • Keep running until you reach the door.
• Level 11: “L=B, R=G, U=R, D=Y”
  • The level’s name acts as a guide to the colored buttons:
    • The yellow button brings the keys down.
    • The red button moves the keys up.
    • The blue button moves the keys to the left.
    • The green button moves the keys to the right.
  • First, use the yellow button to bring the keys into view.
  • Don’t let the moving hazards touch the keys.
    • Use the red button to move them up slightly so they’re just above where the upward-moving hazard can get them.
    • Use the blue button or green button to bring them to the sides.
    • Bring them down while the sideways-moving hazard is away. Stop just above the hazard if you need more time.
  • Once you’ve brought the keys down to a level you can reach, pick them up and move to the door.
• Level 12: “Swimming Lesson”
  • From the starting platform, jump into the water.
    • You automatically sink down.
    • You can move to the left or right and swim back up.
    • Pick up the keys while swimming.
  • You do not need to worry about air in this game.
  • The fish are your enemies here. Unlike most hazards that move in a single track, they move freely in the water with no pattern.
    • Float up or move to avoid the fish.
    • Move quickly to dodge the fish.
  • Swim to the door.
• Level 13: “Mirror”
  • In this level, you and the spiked hazard move in sync.
    • Your movements are mirrored. If you move to the right, the hazard moves to the left.
    • The hazard cannot jump while you do.
  • At the start, you cannot jump over the hazard because the spot you meet is underneath the spikes.
  • The hazard actually has less room to move than you do. This is the key to your success.
    • Move as far to the left as possible and pick up the first key along the way.
    • Move back to the right and, when the hazard is close enough, jump over it.
  • Collect the second and third keys on your way to the door.
• Level 14: “Traffic Light”
  • This version takes its cue from the classic schoolyard game Red Light, Green Light, albeit by way of Squid Game.
    • A button on top changes color from red, yellow, and green.
    • You can only move while the button is green.
    • If you move when the button is red, it’s game over.
  • You must also dodge the vertically moving spiked hazards.
  • Move slowly to the left to collect the keys.
  • Move slowly to the right to reach the door.
• Level 15: “Memory”
  • Your starting platform has a switch on it.
  • When on the switch, select the switch button on the bottom right corner to switch between revealing the hazards and revealing the keys.
    • Memorize the location of the hazards and dodge them as best you can.
    • To save yourself the trouble, see if you can take a screenshot of the level.
  • Pick up the keys and move to the door.
• Level 16: “Very High”
  • The one of the keys is too high for you to reach.
    • Drop the 6 in the level number by left clicking or tapping on it at least 2 times.
    • Jump onto the 6 and use it as a platform.
    • Make another jump to collect the key.
  • Don’t worry about the blue button; it does nothing.
  • Pick up the other keys by walking toward them, then move to the door.
• Level 17: “Jigsaw Puzzle”
  • You cannot pick up the keys the regular way.
    • However, you can select the keys with your mouse or fingers directly.
    • Select, drag, and drop the keys to the key outlines on the top left corner to collect them.
  • After this, all the alien needs to do is walk to the door.
• Level 18: “Precision Bridge”
  • This level comprises a log bridge spanning over the spikes.
    • You begin on a platform on the right side, close to the door.
    • A spiked hazard moves up and down near your side of the bridge.
    • The keys are on the log bridge.
  • Each time you walk on the bridge, the logs you step on disappear.
    • Thus, if you run through the bridge, you will not be able to move back where you started.
    • You must cross by making several jumps, taking care not to stay in the bridge too long.
    • Jump off the right side of the platform and move to the door.
• Level 19: “Variable Steps”
  • The platforms in this game alternate from solid to intangible.
    • Land on an intangible platform and you fall into the spikes below.
    • When a platform disappears, you will not be able to jump.
  • To collect the keys, you must hop onto a platform, then jump just before the next one appears.
    • Collect the keys to the left first.
    • Pick up the last key to the right on your way to the door.
• Level 20: “It Will Help You”
  • You start off on a platform on the left with a lever.
    • Activate the lever to make a platform with a key appear.
    • This platform will be somewhere to the right. It is too far for you to jump to.
  • The puzzle in this game is similar to Level 4’s.
    • The second key is hidden above the level title itself.
    • Select the game’s title and move it down. This will become a platform you can use to cross the gap.
    • Pick up the second key and hop onto the next platform.
  • Avoid the moving spiked obstacle on your way to the third key.
  • Pick up the last key and jump to the door on the bottom right.
• Level 21: “Sorry Wrong Number”
  • This level is very deceptive.
    • The number shown on the side is *not* the number 21.
    • The level’s arrangement actually mirrors the first level, not the twelfth.
    • The only difference between this level and the first is the presence of a moving hazard near the door.
  • You cannot collect the keys to this level until you figure out the trick to the level.
    • This trick, of course, is in the number.
    • Select the number 2 and move it to the left of the number 1. This turns the 12 into a 21.
  • Play the level as you would in the first one. Watch out for the moving spikes.
• Level 22: “Troublemaking Elevator”
  • You begin on the right side of the screen.
  • Two of the keys you must collect are above you.
    • Both are under a platform
  • The trick in this level is the elevator platform.
    • The first moving platform you encounter moves perfectly fine.
    • The second disappears when you try to make contact with it,
  • To actually reach the second key, you must jump underneath the first platform twice.
    • While the platform will remain unusable, you will gain the ability to double jump.
    • This will allow you to pick up the key.
    • The double jump function is unique to this level. You will not be able to double jump elsewhere.
  • Collect the final key and move toward the door.
• Level 23: “Invisible Keys”
  • The level’s arrangement is similar (but not identical) to the first level.
    • There are three moving platforms. Two move horizontally and one moves vertically.
    • There are no hazards in this game.
  • The keys here are intangible. You cannot touch them.
    • The level name is a misnomer; the keys are visible (you can see where they are) but cannot be touched (intangible).
  • Like in Level 4, the hint button is crucial here.
    • You can move the button horizontally throughout the topmost row.
    • With your mouse or fingers, select the hint button and drag it to the title of the level.
    • Once the title says “Visible Keys,” the keys become tangible.
  • Collect all the now-tangible keys and exit the level.
• Level 24: “Pixel Error”
  • In this level, your alien character flickers. This renders them invisible from time to time, but not intangible.
    • There will be visible signs that your character is still moving onscreen, even if you can’t see them.
    • Because you can’t see them, it becomes difficult to avoid nearby hazards.
    • Wait it out. They become briefly visible again.
  • Move slowly and be patient.
    • Visibility is the key to dodging hazards. Once you’re visible, move as fast as you can.
    • Once you get invisible, stop moving. Stay in one place for as long as you need to.
    • Repeat the process until you’ve collected all the keys and are close to the door.
• Level 25: “You are Hero”
  • You start once again on a platform to the left. The area to the right of you is covered with spikes until just near the door.
    • Hazards patrol the area near the keys, though you only need to worry about the first one.
    • You can jump onto the box, but can’t any further than that.
  • To clear the level, you must “change your identity,” or take control of the box.
    • The box has a movable label (“BOX”) that you can select and move.
    • Drag and drop the label to the word “HERO” on the title. You’ll end up renaming the level “You are Box.”
    • The controls now move the box instead of the alien.
  • Move toward the other keys and stop at the now-open door. Be careful around the hazards.
• Level 26: “Portal”
  • You begin with a level with a pair of blue portals.
    • These portals are the only way you can go from one side of the level to another.
    • Jump onto one portal and come out on the other end.
    • You cannot move the first portal.
  • At the start of the game, the right portal is located above spikes.
    • Entering it will immediately kill you.
    • To prevent this, move the second portal away from the spikes.
  • The second portal can only move horizontally. It is located too high up for you to jump onto; you cannot backtrack.
    • Before entering the first portal, make sure you collect both keys before entering the second portal.
    • Pick up the last key on the other side and move toward the door.
• Level 27: “Math Quiz”
  • An equation appears at the center of the screen.
    • Each time you move a specific direction, the values of the equation change.
      • The left number changes when you move left.
      • The center number changes when you move right.
      • The right number changes when you jump.
    • When the numbers are equal, the keys are tangible.
    • If the numbers aren’t identical, the keys are intangible.
  • You must jump over the spikes and collect the keys in the right number of moves.
    • Move under or next to the key will all moves equal.
    • Move slightly to the opposite direction you plan to move to increase its value by one more than your desired direction.
    • Simultaneously jump and move in the desired direction to collect the key while it’s tangible.
• Level 28: “Be Brave 2”
  • Collecting two of the keys here is pretty straightforward. Walk to them while jumping over the spikes.
  • To bring down the last key, you must bring its platform down using the orange button.
  • Hitting the orange button yourself, however, will trap you in the pit.
    • You can’t jump out without dying because of the spikes beneath the platform.
    • The platform moves too fast for you to try to evade it.
  • To bring down the platform, you need an object to weigh it down.
  • The last row of spikes to the right will not hurt you. Stand on them to loosen them from the bottom
• Level 29: “Where is the Key?”
  • You start the level with only 2 keys visible. Collect these as soon as you can.
  • The key you need to search for is one of the words in the title.
  • Select “KEY” in the level title twice to drop it on the floor.
  • Pick it up as you would the other keys, then move toward the door.
• Level 30: “You Need the Hint”
  • You begin on a platform on the left side.
    • Jump off the platform to collect the first key. The platform will tilt.
    • The second key is above a row of spikes that is too wide to jump across.
  • The last level once again uses the hint box in a literal manner.
    • Double click or tap on the hint box to bring it down.
      • Unlike all the other times you had to use the box, this hint box tilts but can’t be touched.
      • Make sure you’ve already moved off the platform when you bring the box down. The now-tilted platform will roll
    • Hop onto the box while it crosses the spikes and jump off it.
  • Pick up the keys and make your way to the door. Congratulations, you’ve finished all 30 levels.
