A spinning-sword platformer with bright stages and bosses that take a revolving blade to the face. Keep the spin up. The ground is optional if the sword is out.

Tips

  • Start here

    Hold attack, then jump

    The spinning sword is a bubble around you. Don't stop spinning to 'time' a hit. Hit the boss in the head on the descent.

  • Secrets

    The mini-Niki is a timer

    A power-up turns you tiny and mean. Use it on the crowded mid-stages, not as a souvenir. Continue from the start of the act, so clear a checkpoint mentally.
