About Refund This Game
Refund This Game is an action‑adventure title that challenges players to finish the entire experience in under two hours. Success awards a special achievement and the option to request a refund, turning the playthrough into a high‑stakes race against time. The core mechanic revolves around a physics‑based pole‑vaulting system that propels you upward through a single‑player environment, while a nostalgic jungle soundtrack drives the pace. An online leaderboard records the fastest completions, letting you compare your time with other daring players.
01 / THE GUIDE
Cyberspace Pole Vaulting
The game’s main movement tool is a pole that you stick to walls, bend, and release to launch yourself upward. Mastering the physics of the stick‑flinging is essential for reaching the top and completing the challenge within the time limit.
The mechanic feels rewarding once you get the timing right, offering a sense of momentum that matches the game's fast‑paced design.
- Experiment with different bend angles to find the most efficient launch height.
- Observe how the pole reacts to various wall angles to improve consistency.
02 / THE GUIDE
Checkpoint System
Players receive one checkpoint that can be placed at any point during the run. If you fall, you may return to the checkpoint you have already set, allowing a limited safety net.
The system encourages careful planning of where to set the checkpoint, balancing risk and progress.
- Place the checkpoint after mastering a difficult vault segment.
- Avoid setting it too early, as you cannot create additional checkpoints.

Jungle Soundtrack
A nostalgic jungle soundtrack plays throughout, designed to soothe nerves during setbacks and to energize you as speed builds.
The music’s beat intensifies when you start gaining real speed, reinforcing the sense of momentum.
- Use the soundtrack’s rhythm as a cue for timing your pole releases.
- Adjust volume via the custom volume controls if you prefer a quieter background.

Leaderboard
An online leaderboard tracks the completion times of players who choose not to refund the game. It provides a competitive arena for speedrunners.
Your time is compared against other “cool” players, encouraging repeated attempts to improve.
- Review top times to gauge realistic targets for your own run.
- Consider watching community videos for strategies that achieve faster times.

Refund Challenge
The central premise invites you to finish the game in under two hours, earn an achievement, and then optionally request a refund. The challenge’s stakes are self‑imposed, adding psychological pressure.
A secret final challenge section is hinted at, though details remain undisclosed.
- Focus on efficient vault routes to stay within the two‑hour window.
- Treat the secret section as an optional bonus after the main run.
