How to play
Use the arrow keys to move your character across platforms. Press Z to jump over gaps or onto higher ledges. When you encounter distant points or need to cross hazards, press X to fire your hookshot. Success depends on timing your swings and releasing at the right moment to maintain momentum. Navigate through each level by combining these movements to reach the end of the stage.
Tips for beginners
