Strategy & Tips

1. Lock in at Checkpoints

Checkpoints are vital for maintaining progress. When you approach a flag, slow down and ensure you touch it. Staying calm near these markers prevents the frustration of restarting a difficult section.

2. Learn Through Failure

Appel requires high coordination. Mistakes are part of the process! Instead of rushing back in, take a second to analyze your timing. Adjusting your approach by just a fraction of a second is often the key to victory.

3. Practice in the Editor

Struggling with a specific mechanic like wall jumping? Use the Level Editor to build a "training room" with several wall-jump sections. Practicing in a low-stakes environment will build the muscle memory needed for the main levels.
