Source-watch guide index / checked snapshot
Start with the question. Keep the answer bounded.
This page organizes the help questions that can be safely revisited from the checked source packet. It keeps the published guide route useful without turning a name, search signal, community report, or changelog line into a walkthrough.
Quick answer
This is a bounded guide index, not a step list.
The checked material does not expose a verified walkthrough, boss or stage order, controls chart, ability input sequence, or troubleshooting fix. Use the topic cards to see the exact unknown and the condition for a later revisit.
- Scope
- Checked public itch page snapshot and the accepted local source boundary, checked 2026-08-21.
- Unknown
- A complete beginner route, ordered stages, controls chart, ability sequence, and troubleshooting procedure are not exposed here.
- Revisit trigger
- Revisit after an accepted first-party guide or a versioned local validation record.

Each topic states its scope, unknown, source trail, and revisit trigger before any next action.
Bounded answers
What is safe to say now
Held content stays on its published owner route; no child route is implied.
Beginner entry
Start with the checked source surface
Use the official itch page as the single checked handoff for orientation. This hub points to existing reference paths and names the open questions; it does not promise a complete beginner route or a sequence through the game.

Progression question
Boss and stage order remains held
Named stage and boss references do not establish a boss order, stage order, unlock path, layout, location, prerequisite, effect, count, or recommended sequence. No ordered guide steps are published from those references.
- Scope
- Named stage and boss wording in the checked release material; no structured progression dataset.
- Unknown
- Boss order, stage order, layouts, unlocks, locations, prerequisites, effects, counts, and a recommended sequence remain unknown in this scope.
- Revisit trigger
- Revisit after a versioned stage/order packet or a reproducible local record is accepted.

Input / ability question
Hadouken and controls stay source-watch
Hadouken / ability wording
Hadouken is retained as a named ability reference in the checked v1.00.4 material. Its input, acquisition, requirements, effects, and save behavior remain unknown; no input sequence is published.

Named stage topic
Fortress 1 is an attributed source-watch lead
The v1.00.4 devlog names Fortress 1 in its update context. Community comments and search-language signals stay labelled as leads only; they do not become a map, stage route, item location, or current repair result.
- Scope
- Fortress 1 is treated as an attributed source-watch topic, not a route through the game.
- Unknown
- The checked material does not establish a map, order, item location, or current runtime repair state.
- Revisit trigger
- Revisit after a versioned local reproduction or a newer first-party fix/status record.

Stuck-state boundary
Troubleshooting is a report queue, not a fix
A reported softlock, stuck state, save/config question, controller issue, or platform question is not a runtime reproduction. No universal workaround, recovery recipe, compatibility verdict, save path, or verified fix is published here.
- Scope
- Public questions and dated first-party wording only; no local reproduction is recorded.

- No universal stuck-state workaround, recovery recipe, save path, compatibility verdict, or verified fix is published.

What should I do if I am stuck?
