When the player selects the first level of an area, they will be directed to an introduction screen, where they can move on by pressing the Enter key.

Level 1
This level introduces the basic maneuvering controls of the game. The player can press the arrow keys to move and A key to jump. The robot should be moving to the player's right, jumping to reach the progressively higher ledges to reach the goal.
Level 2
Level 2 introduces switching polarity with the S key. When the player changes the robot's polarity to negative, it turns blue, causing the blue wall blocking its path to move out of the way. The robot can now fall in the nearby pit where the exit is.
