Tips
  • Spend a minute practicing the jetpack controls before attempting the level.
  • Be mindful of the red beams, hot pipes, spinning objects, and broken wires, as touching them will cause damage or death.
  • When encountering enemies that shock, wait for them to stop attacking before spinning them into environmental hazards.
  • Avoid touching Nitro boxes, as they will explode and cause damage.
