Special Moves

You can combine a variety of techniques to master your ascension.

Wall Jump - just move to the edges of the playfield.

Bouncy Boost - when your character is spinning, press A the moment you land on a platform, the height of the boost depends on your spinning speed.

Guitar Hook - Throw your guitar to pull yourself onto platforms. As long as your guitar is flying, you cannot die. This can save you in sticky situations near the screen bottom!

Pass-through Jump - You can pass through many platforms quickly if you time your A presses right (or mash A), but be careful, this doesn't reset your guitar!

Scoring - The faster your climb, the higher your score!

Download & installation

Download the ROM and run it in an NES emulator such as Nestopia or Mesen.
