[ongoing] Community Challenge (finish levels only using jump)

[Wolfgang]

It is something that started when I first cleaned the skate park. "Can I clean everything without using the step, ladder and construction tower i.e. only using the jump to get up to the roof of the buildings?"
And so far the answer is: For most things, yes.
However, there are two locations that are causing problems here:
#1: The Detached House
I haven't found any way to get on the roof here. Though I tried for about 30 min.
#2: The Fire Station
The roof of the main house is something I also struggle with. You can not jump fom the Drill Tower to the main building as the gap it too large for it. The Drill Tower outside itself is not the problem, just tedious to do.

And this is why I post this: Maybe you (yes, you) can help find a way in getting to these spots I currently struggle with.

The roof of the Bungalow is doable as you jump on the hedge to the right of it, turn towards the house, get to the leftmost ledge and run towards the gutter and then jump from the hedge. Not easy to do but you can make it.
The roof of the Shoe House just requires some precise jumping and isn't that difficult (IMO).
The roof of the Forest Cottage is very easy. Just jump from the stairs to the left of the roof and you are on it. The walls are tedious but doable.

I have to correct myself: The roof of the main building of the Fire Station IS possible. I just made it. Will upload the video of it soon.

So only the Detached House remains.

Edit: Here the link to the video:

Correction 2: After a lot of time trying I did it. The Detached House is done. You can get on the roof. It is very difficult to do and you need very precise inputs and locations but the sprint at the end seems to do the trick.

And with this, all levels in this game currently available are beatable without using the step, ladder and construction tower.

Just a quick update on the new maps:
The helicopter is fairly easy. Jump on one of the wheels and from there on the support of the wheels and you are pretty much on the helicopter.

The treehouse is more a bit tedious but with the rotating 0° nozzle it can be done.

Nice! :D

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the next maps and will also do them without the step, ladder and construction tower.

I've been wondering if this was possible ever since the fire station level (it took me a while to notice the construction tower was usable, and I was really starting to question how I could clean the top of the drill tower). I wasn't trying super hard, but I could never shake the question of if it was possible to completely ignore the accessibility stuff. Good job! That jump on fire station looks so dumb.

Well, the drill tower is just cleaning as much as possible from the ground and then cleaning the rest by jumping down.

Time for the new levels:

The Temple is pretty easy. Jump on the pedastals at the front door and then on the roof. From there you can jump to the higher roofs without problems.

The Carousel: This level is insanely difficult with this challenge. Even though the scaffolding is nicely placed it is off-limits for this challenge. So we need to go up the Carousel in some other way. And the problem here is simply that there isn't much stuff there that could help us getting up there. So we have to use the hitbox of some object. And this object are the light bulbs. But the problem is still: How do we get up there? We have two poles standing close to one another on one hand and a ticket booth between two poles on the other. Both places are insanely hard to reach and require extremely precise movement and jumps. And even then there is the huge challenge of getting on one of the light bulbs. This also requires insane precision. I failed for over an hour trying to make it. This is pretty much a "99.99% impossible" thing. I was so close to giving up and calling this challenge to be over meaning the game can not be beaten by never using the step, ladder and scaffolding even once. It was really frustrating to have this be the case.
But then this happened:

I have no idea how I made it. I tried to reproduce it in free play but gave up after another hour of failures. These two jumps require insane precision with the inputs. Maybe there is an easier way. I will see when I play this level again in free play.
However, the game is still beatable by not using the step, ladder and scaffolding even once. It just got really difficult with the Carousel level.

Two more options for Fire station.

For Detached House it's actually easier and more consistent to jump up form the right railing, spam jump and wiggle while moving on diagonal roof edge.

The Carousel top is hardest to access by far. I only found jump you shown. The only improvement is if you didn't reach all the way to the top in one jump you can wedge yourself between first and second light bulbs from the left, then it's possible to crouch there and jump from this position.
Fun fact: yellow three way stances with ads for Tickets/Popcorn/Slam dunk/wild west are acting like ladders. Don't know if it's intended or not, but upward momentum from one of those things is almost enough to jump on the roof of the carousel.

That is exactly the problem. The upwards momentum is almost enough but in all my attemts it wasn't enough to make it up there. And the jump I did isn't exactly easy. That is why I try to see if there is an easier way.

Re: The Carousel:

Using the previously mentioned method of jumping onto the ticket booth, I did find an easier way to get to the roof (or at least more reliable.)
Once you're on the ticket booth, jump on the edge of the fence to the right (your right when facing the carousel.) After that it's easy enough to jump through the nearest gap between the Pole Topper and the Cresting.

Here's a video demonstrating the above:

The video's a minute longer than it needs to be, from 20 seconds onward is just me showing it's easily repeatable.

Wow! Didn't think about that. Very impressive!

Here is the update for the new levels in 0.6:
Washroom: Doesn't require any parkour.
Helter Skelter: Not much parkour needed. You can get on the roof via the railing (also just walk up the slide). The XL extension will be very handy here. For the small spots you can even run up the sides (upper half).
Private Jet: To get on it, run towards one of the wings and jump. Keep on running and at some point and angle you will get up there. Don't run from the back of the jet as the engine is blocking this way.
Frolic Boat: Pretty easy. Jump on your van and from there on the boat. To get on the roof use the cat statue in the front.
