Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not recommended as a solo game for most 3–5 year olds due to fast action and precision platforming; parental co-play or choosing simpler, turn-based titles is advised.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Generally suitable with supervision — younger players may need help with tricky platforming sections and occasional frustration; parental guidance recommended for managing optional purchases.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Appropriate and enjoyable for most players in this range; challenge and collectibles offer good replay value and skill development in timing and pattern recognition.

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Suitable — older kids/teens will appreciate speed-run challenges and optional modes; no mature content but may be less engaging long-term for some.

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Suitable — safe, family-friendly content; teens may find the gameplay straightforward but valid for casual play.
