Why would you need to be told how to do this?

- Pressing and holding A and D will allow you to move left and right respectively. This will not work mid-air.
- Pressing and holding S will allow you to crouch, this lets you fall through semi-solid platforms if you hold long down the button. Holding it down longer will cause the camera to pan down.
- Pressing and holding W will make you look up, useful for looking up.

The game just never tells you how to do this

By quickly pressing A or D after crouching, you will perform a slide which gives you a quick burst of speed in the specified direction. This lets you get into one tile tall gaps.

Aka: Using your bat but worse!

By double pressing and holding S will mid air, you will spin in a ball like that blue hedgehog again of all places!
This lets you bounce off of the floor, walls, and ceilings, losing momentum with each bounce. You will naturally pass through semi-solid platforms in this state.
Just like while crouching, your hitbox is only one tile high in this state.


How do I use the bat?

Using the arrow keys, you can swing your bat. Hold the button down longer to charge the swing. The longer you charge, the more powerful it is. While charging this swing, your friction is reduced.
Holding the charge for too long will cause you to misfire and not swing.
Hitting a surface with your bat will cause you to be flung in the opposite direction, and swinging mid-air will propel you slightly in that direction (assuming you don't hit a wall.)
Things that your bat hits won't necessarily kill you. You may just be able to save yourself if you bounce out of a "spike" pit.

Good luck finding a place to use this to its full potential.

While in mid-air, you don't lose momentum to friction, this means that if you constantly swing in one direction while pogoing off of the ground, you can build up an insane amount of horizontal speed. Try hitting against a wall to start fast and build up more speed.

Please don't patch this or the next tech out of the game. They are my lifeblood.

By pressing left or right right without letting go of down after a slide, you can slide again immediately. This is significantly faster than walking and doesn't have the slow start up that railgunning without a wall has.

It's about time you learned how.

By using an upward or downward swing right after starting a slide, you can preserve your horizontal momentum while also going up.
Very useful for clearing those annoying ledges.

R.I.P Big Uppies, you will be missed.

By spamming the upwards swing after bouncing from a long fall, you can increase the height that you bounce dramatically.
Unfortunately, this is no longer an easy way to gain infinite height.
