A try at a non-spoiler guide [WIP]
By Mr. n
A guide with tips and no outright spoilers, since I love games like this (or Tunic - play Tunic if you haven't!!!) and "read and execute, move on" guides are basically taking away all the value and feeling of discovery from games such as this one, I'll actively try to avoid selling that.

I will be adding level tips as I go (I've only just started, but loved the first couple levels and what they did to my mind) already!

Non-spoiler general tips and tips for levels are very welcome, you can share those in the comment section.

The guide is a Work in Progress (and probably will stay so for a long time since I'm taking it slow and I'm not using any guides or spoilers myself).

General tips
Possible jumps I've used so far:
1. "Regular jump", or single-tile horizontal jump
P J # # ###

2. "Stair jump", or single-tile diagonal jump
J P# ##

3. "Stair jump plus", or single-tile diagonal with extra horizontal tile jump
J P # # # ###

4. "Platform jump", or two-tile horizontal jump from a platform
P # J # # ####

P - player; J - jump goal; # - solid tiles.

That being said, the game is not about pixel-perfect jumping, but about coming up with a solution to the puzzle. There should be no need for retrying a jump - if it's possible, you're more likely than not to get it on your first try.


Assorted other tips:
  1. Play around with chant ability. Try it out in various circumstances, see how it behaves.
    When exactly does the box disappear when you're conjuring a new one?
  2. The push-button-to-make-solid tiles blocks/prevents shot from entering, not exiting when solid.
Levels 01-03
Level 01
If you don't know how to finish this level:
1. Replay the tutorial ("Prologue") and pay attention to what can be walked through and what cannot.
2. General tip #1.

Level 02
See general tips about jump parameters.

Level 03
I finished this one, but don't have good, non-spoilery clues yet.
Levels 04-06
Level 04
My problem with this one was overthinking.
Get the boxes down.
Make all the boxes fall on each other in a single column.

Level 05
I have no clue how to do this one yet (-.-)' :P.

Level 06
I finished this one, but don't have good, non-spoilery clues yet.
