IGTAP hidden upgrades: full-game routes

Pairs with: IGTAP secrets tracker · IGTAP mechanics explained · IGTAP upgrade priority

Full-game secret upgrade routes

The guide was written for a postgame sweep and recommends two omni-dashes and a double jump to make navigation easier. That is a recommended setup, not a proven minimum for every pickup. Check your moveset before attempting a late-course detour; the demo's +50% watt and clone upgrades are a separate list below.

Sweeping for Definitely not lost

Start with the landmarks you can identify, then return for the higher branches after movement unlocks. In Course 5, the two entrances to the lights branch have different approaches: an upper entry reaches the pickup directly, while a lower entry requires more platforming. A wavedash can help reach the upper entry. The normal-path pickup is a separate stop, so do not count that as clearing the lights branch.

Keep the release tracker beside the screenshots. Its 17 boxes count the routes above; 17 is not an official achievement requirement. A player reports unlocking the achievement without the Course 5 lights pickup. If your route list is complete but Steam has not awarded the achievement, check the secret-counter hotfix below before replacing your save.

Old five-course demo routes

The following ten route notes describe hidden pickups in the old five-course demo: watt boosts, clone speed and clone size upgrades. They are a demo checklist, not the full release's complete secret count. Start by matching the landmark and your current abilities, then use the route below only if the geometry matches your version.

Level 2: the gap above the course

Climb above Level 2's exit area and slip into the narrow gap — no dash required. Navigate between the pillar and spike shapes to find a +50% global watt upgrade, then drop into the spikes to get back out.

Level 3: the darker spike

In Level 3's spike wall section, one spike is slightly darker than the rest — that one is fake. Aim through it to find a +1 maximum clone speed tier upgrade sitting on the left.

Level 3: the jump-up, dash and mid-air combo

Also around Level 3: jump up, dash, and use your mid-air jump to reach the ledge — another +50% global watt pickup. This one needs dash and mid-air jump, so come back after the movement unlocks.

Level 3: the wall climb launch

Climb the tall wall on Level 3's flank and launch yourself onto the floating platform for a clone size tier. Intermediate tech — a plain wall jump chain is enough.

Level 4: the platform before the course

Just before Level 4, climb on top of the big platform for a clone speed upgrade. Easiest one in the set; no tech needed.

Level 4: the wall above

Above Level 4 itself, climb the wall and follow the spike shapes up. Use wall bounces off the empty gaps to reach a vertical vine platform, bounce off that, and claim a clone size tier.

Between Levels 4 and 5: the spike-edge jump

Between levels 4 and 5 there's a spike-edge jump entry to a +50% watt boost. The jump reads harder than it is — commit to it.

Between Levels 4 and 5: the second boost

A second +50% watt boost sits in the same stretch. The original tutorial-maker isn't sure this one even counts as "hidden," but it's easy to walk past, so it's here.

Level 5: above the T

Running Level 5 normally, look for the T-shaped platform — go up instead of through and land on top for a clone size increase.

Level 5: the spike tunnel finale

At the end stretch, jump off the ledge, aim for the opening above, and work through the spike tunnel. Wall bounce up the clear section to claim the demo's final pickup: +50% extra watts.

Why clone size matters

It's the game's least-explained stat — see Core Mechanics for what the community has figured out so far.

Before returning for a missed pickup

Read the route's movement requirement first. The Level 2 gap can be attempted without dash; the Level 3 ledge route uses dash plus an air jump; the upper Level 4 route calls for wall bounces. If you cannot reproduce a move, return to a nearby safe surface and check the abilities you actually have before repeatedly attempting the same jump.

On the launch build, omni-dash is optional after Hotfix #2. Its upgrade box toggles between omni-dash with one fewer jump and the previous moveset. A route demonstrated with an air jump can therefore feel different after you enable omni-dash. Choose the moveset suited to the route before measuring whether the jump is possible. The +1 double-jump upgrade also moved from the end to the middle of the tree; an old purchase-order video may send you too far along.

Hotfix #4 makes the same toggle normalize the ability count, including old saves with three double jumps. That is a specific correction, not a reason to edit coordinates in a save file. When comparing a video, check both the terrain and its jump/dash setup.

Secret achievement did not unlock

Hotfix #3 repairs the secret counter so collecting a pickup while Steam is not initialized no longer locks out the achievement. Update before continuing the hunt. Do not start a new save solely because a launch-day counter failed; the patch targets that failure and adds backup saves.

A missing pickup and a missing achievement are different checks: revisit the landmark for the former, check the installed patch and Steam state for the latter. This demo list does not prove that every full-game secret has been collected.
