Lv.1 Skills
High Jump
Don't press *space* twice instantaneously, it take some time to reach the highest height. Press *space* at that instant can grant you the highest height of the Double Jump
3-8


High Jump is not easy as it may sound, especially when the barriers are present. There are two places that you can practice your High Jump skills
2-finale2


4-5



Long Jump
One of the basic form of Double Jump
When facing gaps, make your character fall a bit before pressing *space* can make you jump to a further place.
1-5


2-encore3


Hover Bridge Source
There is delay when those Hover Bridge Blocks [transparent blocks] appear/disappear. You can jump further using this.

Jump on ice
Jump when you are on the ice blocks. This will allow you to control your character easilier.

Lava Buffer
Jump after being bounced by lava blocks. This can make you control your character better.

Control Floating Blocks(Ferdinand)
Ferdinand will change its direction when its route is blocked. You can use your body to force it to change the direction.



Grenade
All kinds of melee attacks can knock back grenades.



Bubble
Use *[Mid Air] ↓+D* or *↑+A* can change the route of the bubble.



Holding Blocks
When stones or bricks are held, they are somehow count as a part(通of character, and are able to collect gems or activate some mechanisms.
2-8


Can also be used like this
4-finale1



Immortal Burning
In the story mod, we know that the burning character will be bounced instead of drowning when fall into water. P.S. Burning character also can’t be killed by the pikes.
Co-op7-1



Invincible ship
You are invincible to the laser when you are in the ship



force landing
When using bamboo-copter, you can use *↓+D* to force landing.



Stay in Air
Use * [Mid Air]↓+D* can make your character to stay in the air for a little more time.

suicide
In co-op mod, you can use suicide to transport to certain location. In crazy mod, the game ends if one player is in the exit and another is dead.

Kill the cats
Cats Are Cute!
Cats Are Adorable!
Don’t Kill Cats!
Use *↓+D* continuous can kill the cats easily:(





Lv.2 Skills
Don’t kill CATs
Many players throw grenades whenever they saw the cat. I would suggest to not kill cats. Some cats have special ability, which may be vital to finish the scenes. Normal cats can be used as good teammates (e.g. you can stand on their head)



1-5
Kill the Thieves
(or raccon?)
Use * [Mid Air]↓+D* to knock down the thief from a distance that would not alert him. Then use *[Mid Air]↓+D* twice to kill him. This trick can only be used to the thieves who is no more than 2 blocks higher than your character. Can also be used to kill cats btw :(



Midair Jump
Advanced usage of Double Jump, see Far Jumpin Lv.1 and Ninja Jump(?) in Lv.3
6-6



Jump Teleport and Jump!
After being teleported, your character’s double jump is being reset. Use this trick to jump higher/further.
Coop3-1


Coop2-encore3


7-8



Slide Accelerate
Sliding *←/→+D* will be a little bit faster than walking (but slows your character when getting up). Use slide to run out the sticky blocks or enter the exit can save a little bit of time.
Coop6-finale2



Fast Ladder
Three commonly used ways to do the fast ladder:
Climb up
  1. Press W, hit space continuously
  2. Press W+↑+←/→, hit space continuously
  3. Do not press W. Double Jump and then hit W, then Double Jump.
Climb left/right
Similar as the third method of climb up

Ladder and Jump!
If your character is on ladder and you are in this kind of situation(shown in GIF), press *↓* to let your character fall a bit before hit *space*. Similar as Far Jumpin Lv.1
3-6


6-6



Sticky Block and Jump
Two ways to utilize sticky blocks,
One trick is similar to Air Jump in Lv.1
The other to Ladder and Jump in Lv.2
5-3


Coop1-encore3


Similar to fast ladder, you can use the same trick to climb the sticky block quickly.

Car(boat) pool!
If your character is in boat, it is count as a part of the boat. Your character can go through the cloud block if you are in the boat
1-finale1


Also applys to rocket platform:



Step on DuckShark
The right way to “use” DuckShark


7-8



Rocks on the conveyor belt
It is possible to stop the rocks on the conveyor belt from moving. (It that a BUG???)


Coop6-4





Lv.3 Skills
Walk the dog
In story mode, we always use environment to get rid of dogs(or squirrels? ) In fact, a sophisticated player can use Double Jump to walk the dog, even on sticky blocks.



Ninja Jump



Step on spikes!
Spikes are shorter than the width of the block. If you are lucky good enough, you can try to step on prick blocks




Coop4-6


Similar tricks:
Lasers and saws are the same
Coop8-4


Coop8-8



Shoot Put
Your character can throw away the rocks in the midair. Use this to throw rocks to higher or further places.


Some magic performance XD (It actually used a weapon BUG here, so FXXK the Weapons)
Coop6-1



Step on water
Similar as spikes, you can step on water blocks.


(There is a lava block down in the bottom. Speical thanks to the reminder @有色叮铛)

carry the brick
Let your character fell from the brick and hold the brick. Then jump, unhold the brick and use the second jump to step on the brick. You can go as high as you want using this trick.





BUGs? (or not?)
Rock BUG
In co-op mode, sometimes guest player’s character will unhold the rock mysteriously. This may cause the guest player’s character to be killed by the falling rock(?)
Sometimes the rock can’t block the laser if your character is holding it and performing Double Jump

Brick BUG
Coop3-6


Coop7-8


Except those two GIFs, similar bugstricks are used in these videos :
Bilibili:P1:19:20 2-6/37:45 3-finale1/48:00 4-9/55:10 5-4/61:40 5-8
P2:10:30 6-7/13:00 6-9/30:50 8-3

This guide is useful but I want to share a few things.
1. the different weapons can be extremely useful, frog and bubble are good, the orb can be good, and the sticky dart is helpful. All can be used to make levels easier or skip parts of levels, even picking off cat guards.
2. quickly climbing sticky blocks by letting go of the direction then jumping. in rapid succession you can climb them very quickly vertically without moving horizontally.
3. The last one in the bugs section doesn't have too much use in story, but you can spam jump while ducking and moving which can let you travel the wrong way on conveyors in 1 block gaps like that.
4. if you go around halfway into a cloud with a movable block next to it, you can pull the block through the cloud
