LEVEL GAMEPLAY

Here we can see some basic actions you need to make to protect Bit and get him to the end of the level.
Jump over the Step, slide under the Column and run

Here we can see a linear game section. The actions you have to perform with the left Joycon and the right Joycon alternate in sequence : jump on the Step, shoot to the Shield, slide under the Column, shoot to the Shield, run

Here we can see a parallel game section. If you want to maximize the score you have to perform the actions with the right Joycon and the left Joycon at the same time. Avoid obstacles with Bit and collect Orbs by moving the viewfinder

In this level you have to pay attention to two different elements at the same time.
Shoot the Shield, jump, shoot the Shield, jump.
Keep in mind that it will not be enough to follow this sequence, you have to do it with the right timing
as the platforms attached to the target oscillate and they can fill the hole creating a support
to jump ​only they you fall in the middle of the chasm

The player could develop the habit of shooting at every target he sees on the screen.
In this level we can see how shooting at all targets indiscreetly would be a mistake as the central Shiled,
​if destroyed, will drop a Column on the platform that will prevent Bit from advancing

Here is another example of how timing in alternating actions is a fundamental part of the gameplay.
You have to quickly shoot the two targets to bring down the platform and allow Bit to cross the chasm.
If you shoot too soon the platform fall into the chasm and you won't have time to pass it.
If you shoot too late, Bit fall into the chasm even before getting on the platform.
If you take too long between the first and second shoots the platform tilts, preventing you from passing

In this level the actions of platforming and firing coexist simultaneously.
​Defeat all enemies and avoid all obstacles to overcome it

Also in this level the actions of platforming and shooting coexist
but the focus of your actions is concentrated on the same line

Once again it's not be enough to shoot the targets to advance but you have to do it at the right time.
Collect the Key and shoot the Switch at the same time,
dividing your attention and the dexterity of your hands ​to two different actions

COIN

A Coin can be placed in a difficult to reach place

Keep your eyes sharp. Coin may be hidden in the level

Shoot the Tabbats to turn them into platforms and reach the difficult place

Secret passages can hide Coin

You have little time.
Bit keeps running. Shoots all targets to destroy the structure.
Remember to destroy the last Shield at the right time or Coin will fall into the chasm

MEDAL

Collect all the Giant Orb to make the Medal appear

Sometimes you may notice the presence of particular objects repeated to adorn the level,
​destroy them all to make the Medal appear

When you meet this judge, perform tricks.
If you exceed the score, you make the Medal appear

Collect all the letters to make the Medal appear

SPECIAL SECTION

These special platforms move continuously, by shooting them you can block them in the right place

Shoot these special bricks to destroy them.
In particular situations you have to carve a right way to reach the end of the level

The entire floor is made of special tiles. Touch the floor three times and it'll be game over.
Using the agility and the parkour skills of Bit, gets him to the end of the level without ever stepping on the ground

Of course at the same time you have to get Bit and Sep reach that Door

ITEM

This level is completely dark.
Using the viewfinder, Sep can illuminate the path of Bit with the Flashlight

When you have the Sniper at your disposal, hold Zr to open a window that can zoom the area you are targeting.
You can use this Item to fire precise shots and to search hidden secrets

Use the Water Gun to extinguish the fire and clear the path.
Near the viewfinder there is the pressure indicator, when it is low shake the Joycon to recharge it

The Spike Shooter throws large steel poles that Bit can use as platforms

Only the Wedge Shooter can destroy these special structures.
Pay attention, this weapon has a limited number of ammo, make sure you don't waste any

There are three types of gems and the Gem Shooter's viewfinder acquires the same color as the gem
​it is about to shoot, chosen randomly. Like in a puzzle game, shoot a gem to add it to the column.
If three gems of the same color are close together, they disappear

While you have the Magic Wand at your disposal, hold Zr and move the Joycon to draw a line,
that line becomes a magical platform on which Bit can run.
When you draw the trace, the magic power wear out. When the bar is empty you can no longer draw.
Over time, the bar fills up

Aim at a target with the Barrierator and press Zr to protect it from external attacks.
You can aim Bit but also Structures and Objects
