Jump and Attack can be remapped

You can play the Beginner, Expert, or Karma #insert karma number here#

Beginner is recommended for new players
Expert can be selected at any time however with trickier block placement and more enemies.

Playing those two modes builds karma which you can see the score of and the bar progress on the main menu

Selecting karma mode and depending on your score allows you to start a round of the game with that many levels to build up on the start of the game. So like Karma 5 would let me learn 5 skills the moment I start the game. The number decrease each time you select this mode so you must go play Beginner or Expert to rebuild your Karma score.

Your Health is kind of displayed in the numbers with some quote about how hopeless your situation is. The number of digits indicates how many hits you can take. So starting the game you will be in 6 digits indicating you can take six hits before dying.

Originally posted by Bottom-Tier Skills:

If you watch, the numbers actually are your health. It starts with six digits, and decreases by one digit for each hit you take, until it eventually reaches 0. Using that, you can judge when to take hits, and use the knockback (Which is why I never pick of Vanguard Stance) to avoid instant death.
Pretty much the game is Go down, kill the thingies with red eyes and get their stuff.

You will die, your probability will reach 0 and you will try again!

In order to level up you kill the things marked "kill this" and every variation of them on your journey downward.

When you kill one of those thingies they drop goodies you should get those. They are labeled "Get this"

After you get enough of those from killing the things you will see a bright bar on your descent!

Land in it without dying and you will Level UP!

Upon Leveling up you get to choose a skill!

Skills are more moves or abilities you can gain on your way down for killing those and getting those other things. Also breaking little boxes labeled with the star will get you

Not even if you don't choose a skill on one level it is still available as you level up so by level 3 you can have all of the skills available at level 1

• Punch+ (Passive) makes your punch stronger
  
• Skyward Star Up+Attack you throw a sky upward try to strike down the evil above!

• L1 Punch+
  
• L2 Knees+

  • (With this skill you one shot all enemies and can strike at double your normal melee range. But only for the ACTIVE frames of the punch. The lingering effect does nothing.)
