Unless you speedrunning, this game is best approached as slowly and carefully as possible. The goal is to use the hammer to navigate to the very end of the junk pile and hopefully escape this world of rage. This can change on curved or angular surfaces which can cause you to slide down. When pressed into something solid, the hammer can stick pretty firmly to it. You can swing the hammer a full 360 degrees around the cat and you can also extend or bring it close to the flower pot as much as the cat's arms will allow.īy making contact with the different surfaces and ledges, the hammer showcases its strong frictional force.

The higher you get, the more it hurts to lose your position and start over. Your goal is climb up the mountain, and to keep trying even when you fail and fall back to the bottom.
