Sky-High Towers

Sky-High Towers is the game’s first real test. After the gentle pace of Neon City, this section throws long gaps and rotating windmills at you, and it is where the double-backflip stops being optional. Get comfortable here and the rest of the game opens up; rush it and you will bounce off the windmills repeatedly.

What makes Sky-High Towers hard

• Long gaps that a single flip cannot clear without help.
• Rotating windmills whose blades sweep across your landing platforms.
• Height — falls feel scarier, which makes players panic and mistime flips.

The difficulty is real but fair. Every gap here is beatable with the right combination of release timing, speed burst, and the second flip.

Step-by-step route

1. Enter with a full burst meter. If you grabbed the Flip-Orbs in Neon City, you have the fuel you need.
2. Clear the first long gaps with a late release plus a held burst. Feel how much further you travel than in Neon City.
3. Learn the double-backflip on a safe gap: flip once off the platform, then tap flip again at the apex for extra distance.
4. Read each windmill. Watch one full rotation, find the gap between blades, and commit your crossing as the blade moves away from your target.
5. Refill at every orb cluster so you never face a long jump on an empty meter.

Beating the windmills

The windmills cause more falls than any single gap, almost always because players spam inputs in a panic. Instead:

• Stand back and watch the blade’s cycle until the timing is obvious.
• Pick the moment the blade is sweeping away from the platform you want.
• Cross with a double-backflip on that opening, releasing to land centre.
• If the gap is also long, add a burst to be safe.

The windmills are a patience test disguised as a reflex test. One calm, well-timed crossing beats ten frantic attempts. Take the extra second to read the blade.

Mastering the double-backflip here

This is the best place in the game to drill the second flip, because there are long-but-safe gaps with checkpoints nearby. Flip off the edge, wait until you are near the top of the arc, then tap flip again. The timing of that second tap is its own rhythm — too early and it wastes the boost, too late and you have already started falling. Practise until the two flips feel like one motion. Full mechanics are on the Double-Backflip Update page.

After Sky-High Towers

Once windmills and long gaps feel routine, you are ready for Jungle Ruins, where anti-gravity zones flip your controls and test your orientation instead of your distance. If a specific windmill or gap is still walling you, the How to Beat guide has targeted fixes, and the Map Overview shows how this section fits the wider run.
