HOW DO I PLAY?

Playing as the Guardian is straightforward: you run, you jump, you survive. Sounds like a breeze, right?

Well... not quite. Each zone throws unique obstacles your way, pushing your skills to their limit. Spikes, falling rocks, GIANT slimes, lava pits, icy crystals, speed traps—oh, and did we mention the other surprises? Yeah, there's a lot out there trying to trip you up (or take you down).

But you? You’re unstoppable. These challenges aren’t just hurdles; they’re opportunities to shine. You won’t just overcome them—you’ll leave them in the dust. Why? Because that’s what legends like you do. Let’s see them try to keep up!
