The Purpose
Himno's purpose is to platform and relax, that is all, there are no boss fights, challenging sections or final areas.

There is no end goal in Himno.

Himno consists of endlessly generated "Districts" with three warp gems (One for the entrance which you get upon entering a district, One somewhere random and the last near the exit) which you can explore and gather EXP and Wisps.

That's all there is to it, it's for people who want a platformer to play for the sole reason of relaxing and having a good time.
Complicating Things (for people who want to know everything)
In Himno you have the basic move and jump, along with a dash + quick fall thing (the quick fall is kind of weird, but you'll get used to it.
You can use the keys 1, 2 and 3 to warp to certain locations in a district (once you pick them up), 1 is always at the entrance and 3 is always at the exit.
You can pick up Wisps and go through exits by pressing W.
You also have a levelling system, which I'll get to later.

A District consists of (or can consist of):
- Water at the bottom, which will end your "run"
- An entrance and exit, both with warp gems at them (a third warp gem can be found somewhere else randomly)
- Wisps, which (until they leave you, after a bit of time) will help you in certain ways.
- Dash runes or bounce-y white ledge things, you can dash while in a dash rune to do a BIG DASH and you just bounce really high on the white ledges

The only exception is District 11 which has some strange statues, I still don't know what that's about.

Wisps to a variety of things to assist movement (or other effects, but mainly movement), you can get Wisps by being a high enough level and then picking them up in districts (they will be sitting on a pedestal with the minimum level required to get them).
Wisps are the only thing you need your level for with the highest one needing level 19.

You can gather EXP from yellow diamonds around the districts, these can be found randomly, by lighting up torches, or walking past pots. You don't need to focus on levelling up because it'll just happen overtime as you play, so unless you really want to grind (if that's your thing) then just relax.

Why Did I Make This Guide?
I made this guide for people who were confused on what the game was about or if they thought there was more to it.

If you're still confused or want to know what exactly Wisps do, I would highly recommend checking out this guide made by Brachragon.: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1724739533


I apologise if the second section over-complicated things, have a good day.

hey uh you've made a mistake, 3 isn't always the exit -- it's the last one that you pick up. if you pick up the end one, and then the exit one, then you press 2 to go to the end.

there's also a bug with the warp gems that can lock them out, evidently if you have one tracking to you while you change districts, it'll follow you into the next district, hitting 2 there will softlock you until you menu, and warps will break until you relaunch.
