Thumper guide 

so THATS how I get the blue rings that come after turns, been so pissed that I could never get them before

this isn't a thing you NEED to know but if you manage to fly and then stomp on the boss square that has all the lights, it will show a really satisfying animation

This was a very helpful guide, I had no idea you could nab squares without landing!

Excellent guide! A few things I will note that we're not mentioned: perfect turns give extra points (another comment already mentioned but I'm including it for the sake of listing everything), and these are accomplished simply by pressing the direction of the turn just as you enter it - you can hold the "thump" key as long as you want in advance. You mentioned extended flight, but forgot that this is also accomplished by making a turn while flying (which has the same controls as a perfect turn, if you don't do it perfectly, it stops your flight) meaning you could fly indefinitely after simply lifting off a second square or by making a turn. I like how you explained stomping, but I'll go into more detail on that as well: if you have a running combo multiplier, then pounding on a square simply charges the next appropriate square with extra points and a health restore (sometimes it skips a few, but if another square isn't on the screen by the time the shockwave dissipates, it doesn't give you a bonus or spawn about square). Also, pounding on the "bullet" squares (the ones that do damage to bosses) adds a really satisfying extra effect to the shot, and assuming you didn't make a mistake, will spawn two charged squares that can restore your health (these can also be used to achieve infinite flight so you can pound at the start of the next sequence, that's what I like to do). On the note of bosses, they won't spawn any charged squares if you have to repeat a sequence before attacking them (i.e. missing a square), if this happens, the bullet disappears and the sequence repeats. Thankfully this is only per attack, so if you continue on after making a mistake, but do the rest perfectly, you'll still get the bonuses for those sequences. Apologise for the long comment, you did cover the bulk of the tips and tricks, but I thought I would throw in a few I discovered out of curiosity. Happy thumping!

Good guide. Some things to note though: - Perfect Turns are not explained. They make a different sound, give more points, and are counted separately in the level's tally. - When you mention "Health", what you get back is actually your Shield. - At 4:40, the "mechanic not explained in the game" is simply that Perfect Turns (which, as I noted, you never mention) allow you to stay airborne on curves. - The second mechanic, at 5:05, isn't an actual mechanic. By releasing the jump button, you're just falling and bouncing back up off the square. - You didn't mention that you can switch lanes in mid air.

The game is fking brutal, like off putting its that hard, but havent uninstalled it and i keep going back for a quick go that turns into an hour lol.

You didn't mention how in a boss fight, clearing a sequence on the first try spawns a bonus thump. If you do that _and_ stomp on the 'energy weapon' at the end of the sequence, you get two bonus thumps.

What helped me too was realizing that I don't have to keep the Stick held up or I guess the Upward arrow-key to keep flying so one can prepare for what to do next quicker. I guess the best players are probably musicians with better understanding of rhythm and poly-rhythm. I got all S-Ranks but it's crazy what highscores there are. I hope more people play that game now that it was free with the Play at Home games on PS4/PS5.

I love this game so much. Thanks for this guide

My favorite thing to do in this game is to fly -> pound on the bossfight attack beat square thingy and getting that whuuurrrrrrrrr-dmp-BRRRRrrrrrrmmmmmm sound effect

The hitting the pads while still flying was very helpful.

You explained the long flight for pc but for controller it's very hard cause my beetle keeps going down even tho I'm holding R1 and forward L3

good in depth tutorial

Thank you so much finally I know how to get these damn rings tgat are not right behind a pad

Good video 👍

Dude I didn’t learn how to properly stomp until level 4. It made level 3 a hell and almost made me quit.

I don’t understand the perfect turns I’m on oculus go You hit the middle of the pad to fly And hit left or right of the pad to turn And trigger is Basically space bar Do you hold left or right to stay mid air or what I’m confused Edit: wait I think I get it, I’ll try it, but just Incase, can you still explain

For Xbox One, Xbox controller and Nintendo Switch players: Spacebar = A I believe Enter will correspond to RB (Xbox) or R (Nintendo Switch) PS4 Players: Spacebar = X I believe Enter will correspond to R1 The arrows refer to the Left Joystick or D-pad and all console version platforms or Xbox controller users on PC.

How to do the flying and wall combo with thumper mobile???

5:31 If only I’d known this before I reached level 6-21… I was doing it the hard way: going down then back up.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong for the flying turns, when I try them I do the perfect turns and hear the sound effect but I always drop back down can someone help

Uh.....in the boss fight you see a yellow square but the last one is the blast. So, if you normal jump it (press space/enter) is just normally blast. But when you stomp it (fly then stomp the blast square), you will see something different here....

I came to get an explanation of why an all S level run may be worth less points than runs with As and Bs. I don't get their scoring system. I think you should have also explaned that the wavy structures that are cliging to the track are the things you blast off when you do the "ground pound" and I assume you get points for doing them.

T H A N K Y O U

Someone can explain how to get extra points by Kill.what i have to do to get them?

so if there are two spike sections with a square in between, you never have to land? Just make sure to hit the square in between? Level 6-6 has a few of those sections and I keep failing because I land in between spikes.

I still struggling to turn while flying

I didn't understand the... "Fly further" mechanic... Do I spam enter/space while in the air or...

I haven't played the game But what's the point of those giant floating rings that hit the squares?

Helpful, cheers man.

Quick tip. Holding X makes you go faster which can make turning harder. Don't hold x unless you need to

All of this is taught to you by playing through the game.

You play on a keyboard?

Thanks x
