About the Game

Hell And Back

You were so close to eternal peace at Heaven's Gate, but a mistake sent your soul plummeting into the fiery depths of Hell! Armed with only a Heavenly Trampoline, you must bounce and navigate your way down to retrieve your misplaced soul. Then begin the perilous journey back to claim your rightful place in Heaven.

This game is very simple, don't fall too far unless there's a trampoline to catch you. Either throw your own or use the ones pre-placed on the map. Make your way to the bottom to retrieve your soul, then make your way back up to heaven again with your now soul-infused trampoline.

The Game

  • Don't fall too far, checkpoints might exist to resurrect at but this will eat into your precious time.

  • Use your trampoline to catch your fall, throwing it onto the platforms ahead of you. Tilt your camera up or down to change the angle and distance of the throw.

  • Make your way to the bottom of the map to collect your soul from Hell. Make use of the trampolines placed in the world and the platforms available for your trampoline to land on.

  • Find the perfect lines through the map and make use of the ability to soften your landing to cut out that unnecessary second after bouncing.

  • Then make your way back up to Heaven after you've collected your soul, infusing it with your trampoline to give you extra height when you jump on it.

  • Avoid obstacles that can get in your way and knock you off the path.

  • Get the quickest time you possibly can, with checkpoint times and best times being automatically monitored for you, allowing you to see exactly where you can improve.
