Climb by reading the next bounce

The white cat rises through a narrow cavern by landing on springs and steering in midair. Consecutive bounces build momentum, so the next safe landing matters more than simply holding one direction.

The opening tutorial marks the nearest spring and tracks height immediately. A first jump reached 13 metres while the screen began teaching how arrows steer the cat toward the next launch point.

Spend stamina when the path gets crowded

Holding A or J turns the ballerina into a spinning attack, but the stamina bar falls while it is active. Releasing the attack creates room to recover before the next enemy or incoming arrow.

With a full meter, S triggers a homing hurricane that climbs through enemies while the cat is invulnerable. The pursuing ninja-dog captain can answer with a hurricane of his own.

Power-ups support the endless run

Falling hearts restore health, shields absorb danger, slippers improve stamina, and electric slashes seek targets. The climb grows more crowded with ninja dogs and cave archers as the score rises.

Use the official itch.io page to play because the separate platform player can remain on its first-load screen. Press R to restart, Esc to pause, and M to toggle sound.

Creator's description

The first jump lifted the cat 13 metres into the tutorial shaft, where steering prompts pointed toward the next spring and the stamina bar dropped when the spin attack was tested.
