Players can choose from three challenging difficulty levels: Beginner, Normal, and the toughest, Lava. Beginner mode is tailored for newcomers, providing a more forgiving experience to ease players into the game. If a player falls, they respawn at the last checkpoint without counting achievements or stats.

In Normal mode, gameplay starts the same but falling sends players back to the beginning without a checkpoint to save them. Both Normal and Lava modes are alike except for the lava that rises slowly above the ground on Lava difficulty. In these modes, achievements and player stats are tracked and counted.

For those looking to set new speedrun records, they must take on Medium or Lava to be a part of the leaderboards.

Maps

The game unfolds across a single expansive ascending map, beginning in Hell and leading players through a captivating journey across diverse worlds. This epic quest culminates in reaching the serene Garden, symbolizing the ultimate destination of Heaven. Players embark on an adventure through a series of worlds at increasing heights on their quest to discover this heavenly oasis.

We’ve mentioned all of the worlds you’ll encounter on your way to heaven based on the distance of height.
