Trial Cave/Skumparadise

I have not been able to make what I think are the final jumps to reach the battle and move on in the adventure. Don't know if I am missing something since there are no postings but I have spent hours trying to make the jumps and can't do it. I hate to give up because I have been enjoying the game.

post screenshot(s) of where you mean because there's not enough info to go by to give directions.

I got stuck there for a while. You're probably stuck on the exact same jump that gave me a bunch of grief.

Here's a screenshot that may help: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2809062875

Do you see the two "posts" that are closest to the camera? You have to jump from the shorter "post" to the higher one.

I hope that helps, and for what it's worth you do get some things later that make the platforming easier.

If you're stuck somewhere else you'll have to give us a screenshot.

Yes this is where I am stuck. After many tries I made it to the post just abpve where he is standing but when I try to jump to the lamppost I fall and have to start all over. So frustrating and don't think I can keep trying.

It's really not that difficult. The real parkour is yet to come.

I think something that can help a lot with these kinds of jumps is getting a running start. There's a bit of an acceleration which can cause jumps to go very little distance when jumping right from a standing position.

Here's an example video:

I hope this helps!

As River mentioned, getting a running start helps a lot with distance jumps. There's not a lot of room to do so, but even just half a block of room to "run" makes a big difference in how far you can jump.

Also, I found (most) jumps easier if using a Joystick instead of a D-Pad or WASD/Arrow Keys.
That extra bit of directional freedom you get from a Joystick can make these "up 2 spaces + right 1 space" jumps a lot easier.

If you aren't able to use a Joystick, it gets a lot tougher.
You can try changing course in mid-air, but it's slow.

From the south platform, you can try walking so you're just barely one foot off the RIGHT edge, then make a running jump straight UP.

It's using that magic video game logic where you don't need both feet solidly planted on the ground to be able to stand or walk. ;) You can have almost half* of your character sprite "off the edge" and still be on "solid ground".

*Not scientific measurements.

I too find that using a joystick works better for me. 100% recommend using a controller if you have one.

Lol that jump was super easy, cant believe you were stuck there, no offense but I ahve hard time imagining you will be able to finish the game.

Also, the game is fairly generous about collisions, so it's not hard to stand half off the edge so that you can make a "up 2 right 1 tiles" by simply moving two tiles up.

I think this is a great tip and is applicable to a lot of difficult jumps.
