Q: How do crumbling blocks work and how should I use them?

A: Crumbling blocks disappear shortly after you land on them. To use them effectively, you must jump off them immediately after landing before they vanish. They are often part of sequences requiring quick reflexes.

Q: What is the best strategy for using the dash ability?

A: The dash ability extends your jump distance and can be performed once in the air, or twice if you have a 'double dash' ability. Use it to clear larger gaps, reach higher platforms, or quickly pass over hazards and enemies that a regular jump cannot manage.

Q: What do the red flags do in the level?

A: Red flags serve as checkpoints. If your character dies after passing a red flag, you will respawn at that flag instead of restarting the entire level from the beginning.
