Enemies and hazards

Beetles walk back and forth. Land on top of them to squash them.

Bats swoop up and down. You can squash them too.

Snapping plants cannot be squashed, so jump over them. From level 6 they also spit seeds at you as you approach.

Red thorn traps hurt on touch.

Falling into the river costs a life.

Power-ups

Orange fruit blocks one hit. It does not protect you from falling into the river.

White feather gives a double jump for 20 seconds.

Heart gives an extra life. Look for hearts in the bonus rooms.

Tips

Touch a green flag to set a checkpoint. If you lose a life you restart from there.

Collect 40 coins to earn an extra life.

Bonus rooms are hidden on levels 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. Look for a sparkling vine and press Down. Each one can be used once.

Learn each enemy’s pattern before you jump. Most move in a steady rhythm.
