Big Tall Small Strategy

Springs, Spikes, and Precision Timing

Improve spring launches, spike clearance, and mid-air corrections for the hardest platforming sections.

Springs, Spikes, and Precision Timing featured game scene

Springs create the highest launches in the game, while spikes punish inaccurate landings. Hard levels often combine both mechanics.

Enter the spring from the center

A centered approach produces a predictable launch. If you hit the edge while moving quickly, the hero may drift farther than expected.

Plan the landing before launch

Look at the destination platform, not the spring. Decide whether you need to hold a direction immediately or wait until the hero rises above nearby walls.

Spike hitboxes reward clean jumps

Clear the bright spike area and aim for the middle of safe platforms. Avoid tiny late corrections near the ground because momentum may carry the hero into danger.
