Our take on Canyon Capers
The bounce point arrives when the difficulty shifts from approachable platforming to sections requiring memorized routes and rapid reactions. Players who mainly want a relaxed run through each stage may stop at the harder end of the progression, especially when pursuing higher completion levels and hidden items.
