Boss Rush
- Since Left is Cleft is so hard, it can be frustrating to constantly lose to a new boss just to learn how to beat it. Luckily, we have Boss Rush mode to solve that!
- Boss Rush mode allows you to play through all encountered bosses back to back so you can learn how to beat them before going in to survival mode.
Game Progress
- From the main menu, tap the "Game Progress" button to view your game progress.
- Most of the progress on this page is not updated during Boss Rush mode or when Invincible mode is active.
Settings

- To change settings, click the settings buttons on the left and notice their values updated on the right.
- The "Invincible" button will activate Invincible mode, which will make your character invulnerable to enemies and the boundary during any game mode. This mode is great if youre having a hard time getting through a certain boss and need to practice, or if you just want to take it easy for awhile! Dont forget, your game progress wont get updated while this mode is active.
- To help protect your game progress, the "Reset Progress" button requires two taps to activate. The first press will turn the button red and you will see the message "Are you sure?" appear to the right. Tapping again will confirm this action and reset game progress.
