Collect multipliers (Hyper, Mega, Super, Ultra, Extra) to boost scores and enhance the soundtrack.

Collecting all gold bars in a level unlocks a retro bonus stage inspired by the Atari 2600 classic Pitfall. These short levels offer a nostalgic challenge and extra replay value.
The chiptune-inspired soundtrack blends 8-bit music with techno and electronica, with contributions from the indie band Anamanaguchi. It evolves dynamically as you collect power-ups.
The game features over 50 levels across three worlds (Impetus, Tenacity, Triumph), each with 11 stages and a boss fight, plus 20 separate bite-sized challenges.
