Getting Started in Academy: Become a Hero

## Before You Start
Go in expecting genuine repetition and failure as part of the core loop -- the developer has been direct that mastering short, fixed challenges through repeated attempts is the intended experience, not a difficulty flaw.
Since stages run 30-128 seconds with strict countdowns, learn a stage's layout in shorter mental segments rather than trying to memorize the whole route at once.
## Prioritizing Collectibles Alongside Speed
Since mandatory collectibles are confirmed to be required for unlocking the goal, plan your route around collecting them efficiently rather than treating them as optional bonus content.
## Mastering Your Movement Toolkit
Since jump, double jump, wall jump, dash, sprint, and charged jump are all confirmed as distinct precision tools, practice each individually before combining them in a full stage attempt.
## Common Mistakes
* Rushing toward the goal while ignoring mandatory collectibles -- reaching the end alone is confirmed as insufficient to clear a stage.
* Getting discouraged by repeated failure -- the game is explicitly designed around a fail-then-improve loop.
