Billy - Heaven Can't Wait
Billy is an angel stuck at the bottom of the Stairway to Heaven. Devils pop up to knock him down. Satan himself punishes the lazy. Perks help and curse. Your job: get Billy to the top.

Devils
Devils spawn every few seconds on stairs ahead of Billy. A dark smoke warning appears about 1 second before the Devil pops up. If a Devil touches Billy, he gets knocked backward and downward. Devils despawn after about 4 seconds or after hitting Billy once. They spawn faster as you climb higher, up to 3 at once (5 during the MORE DEVILS perk).
Satan (Idle Punishment)
If Billy stays on the same stair too long, dark smoke starts rising at 1.5 seconds. At 3 seconds idle, a devil spawns on Billy’s stair as a warning. This happens up to 3 times. After that, Satan himself appears, freezes Billy, drags him through all stairs, and burns him to death in hell. Don’t stop moving!
Burn Floor
Billy can only fall back 10 stairs from his highest reached step. Stairs below that threshold are “burned”: they lose collision and glow with embers. If Billy falls onto burned stairs, he passes right through and drops to hell. The burn floor advances as Billy climbs higher.
Perks
Perks appear on stairs throughout the climb. Collect them by touching them.

Tips
| Tip |
|---|
| Short taps for precise 1 to 2 step hops, long holds for big 4 to 6 step jumps |
| You can only jump when grounded (touching a stair) |
| Watch for dark smoke: that’s where a Devil is about to appear |
| Keep moving! Standing still for 3 seconds summons trouble |
| God’s Hand perks push you up then forward, great for quick progress |
| Be careful with evil perks, slippery plus darkness is brutal |
| The burn floor keeps you from backtracking too far, always push upward |
No angels were permanently harmed in the making of this game. Billy respawns. He’s fine. Probably.
