Playing levels

How to find a level, add someone else's, start a run and read the result window

Main menu

The level list

Levels in the main menu opens the list of levels. Levels come from three places:

• My Levels - the levels folder, Installation
• Built-in - the levels that come with the game
• Workshop - Steam builds only. It lists the items you are subscribed to

At the top there are the search field, Sort and View (grid or list). You can sort by Best match, Name, Length, Progress and Recent

Copied a level into the folder? Press Scan again and the list updates

A lock on a card means the level is protected by a password

A hold or a right click on a card opens a menu: Open and Delete

Adding someone else's level

A level is a plain folder of files. You can zip it and send it to a friend

A folder. Copy the level folder into levels and press Scan again. Copy the level folder itself: the one holding level.json (or level.blob) and metadata.json

An archive. Open the editor and create a new level with the Level Archive generator. Then pick the file with Choose Level Archive...

A renamed archive still opens: the game reads the format from the file's bytes. An archive from an older version of the game is updated on import

By default an imported level gets an id of its own. So it cannot overwrite a level already on your device

More - Sharing a level by hand. Afterbeat levels - Importing from Afterbeat

The level screen

The level screen shows the cover, the authors, the description and the music credit. It also has the Authors and Licenses buttons

The age rating is declared by the level's author. The developers do not check it

Before a run you can pick the conditions:

Play starts the run

The pause window has Continue, Restart, Settings, Back to Menu and Exit Game

The result window

The window shows Passed or Failed and three sections: Progress, Damage and Conditions

• rows: Completed, Checkpoint reached, Time, Level length, Hits taken, Lives left, Longest clean streak
• run conditions: Speed, Lives, Bot, Seed, Checkpoints
• buttons: Restart, Restart from Checkpoint, Settings, Back to Menu

By default a lost run does not open this window. The run rewinds to the last checkpoint instead. To change that - Settings → Interface → Open Menu on Lose

Records

The level screen has a record block: Best, Attempts and Cleared (or Never played)

Each set of conditions has its own record: lives, speed, checkpoints and the bot. The block shows the record for the conditions selected right now. Attempts and clears count every run

How a record is chosen - Statistics

Card markers

Deleting a level

Hold or right-click a card → Delete. The game asks for confirmation first

You can delete the level's statistics (Also delete statistics) and backups (Also delete backups) along with it

Deleting a protected level needs no password
