The ultimate guide
Updated 30 days ago by tlak

This is the ultimate guide for three people willing to speedrun this game.

Main objective

Your goal is to close the magic book in the castle tower, which was previously freed by a wizard called 'Gryziwąs'. Papatka saw that something's out of place when the book flew over her head. She also noticed that the book lost some of it's pages, and particular trees and animals were enchanted. On her way to lock the magic book, she must disenchant the affected stuff and collect the pages.

Controls

[Arrow Keys] Move

[Space] Jump - The longer you hold, the higher you jump

[Ctrl] or [Enter] Action

[P] Papatka - Useless unless you're going for 100%. You're forced to play as her whenever you enter a level. She's able to disenchant trees.

[T] Tosia - The most agile, able to jump the highest and run the fastest.

[B] Barnaba - The strongest, able to knock over or push rocks. The most consistant character for wall clipping, explained below.

[F] Filip - Useless unless you're going for 100%. He's able to disenchant animals.

Strategies

Wall clip

Performed by switching to a character with huger hitbox next to particular walls. For example - if you switch from Tosia to Barnaba, the glitch should work.

Corner clip

On some of the maze's corners, there are invisible platforms allowing you to jump over wooden walls entirely.

"Jobless"

Once you disenchant all trees and animals, the invisible barrier preventing you from collecting the last card disappears. You can completely avoid the wall making the previously mentioned stuff optional. The barrier can be avoided by taking a different route, or by simply clipping through it.

Camera glitch

Bind all interactions to one key (which doesn't correspond with switching a character) in the launcher. Upon clicking, your camera should spin faster than usual. The glitch deactivated when you switch a character or pause the game.

Death warps

Self explanatory.

Swingset skip

It's possible to do the cycle on time. Though it's very precise.

Flying glitch

It's possible to hover over ground for a specific amount of time, depending on how well you perform the glitch. This isn't being used anywhere, but it's worth mentioning.

  1. Play as Barnaba.
  2. Press the button corresponding to switching to Tosia.
  3. Around half a second after, hold Space.
  4. As soon as the Tosia's character model is visible, hold W.

Tips

  1. Flowers are checkpoints.
  2. Don't hold a character swap button. Weird stuff happen.
  3. Never pause your game.
  4. You can start moving at the very end of each loading screen.
  5. Don't fall into question marks.
  6. Play on the lowest settings, because the game runs like shit.
  7. Sometimes you'll fall through wooden platforms caused by the game being badly made.
  8. Jump everywhere in case you get stuck in the ground.
  9. Never press the down key which spins your character by 180 degrees. It's pointless.
  10. On some hardware the game crashes when dying on Level 2. There is no fix for that, just try not to die.
  11. Lose all of your health indicators on Level 1 to start everything from the beginning. Counts as a new run.
  12. Use third-party programs like Cheat Engine to speed up both cutscenes.

Troubleshooting

You may encounter some weird stuff when playing the game (like levitation or invisibility). This is commonly caused by configPlayer.txt. Firstly, make sure the file contains polish letters such as 'ą'. Secondly, if your OS is in different language than Polish, swap all commas with dots. Reboot the game to apply changes.

If that doesn't work, your hardware might be too good. If the game doesn't boot at all - run it in compatibility mode.
