+1 Nose to Escape
All 11 Stages in +1 Nose to Escape: Levels and Wins
By AllanIsGreasy · updated Sep 29 · 3 min read
+1 Nose to Escape has 11 stages in its first world. Each one is a row of stone platforms over lava, and you cross it by stretching your nose from platform to platform. These are the real numbers from the game's settings (I'm the one making it).
How much reach you need
Your nose reaches 36 studs at Level 1 and grows 7 studs every Level. Each stage sign shows a recommended Level, which is the Level where your reach clears that stage's widest gap. You can try a stage below it, but you'll run out of nose over the lava.
| Level | Reach |
|---|---|
| 1 | 36 studs |
| 10 | 99 studs |
| 24 | 197 studs |
| 46 | 351 studs |
| 76 | 561 studs |
| 96 | 701 studs |
Every stage
| Stage | Recommended Level | Wins on the pad | What's new |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | Two short gaps, the tutorial |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | Four gaps in a straight line |
| 3 | 5 | 5 | Platforms set off to the side, speed rings and balloons start |
| 4 | 10 | 15 | Walls with a hole to aim through |
| 5 | 16 | 40 | Balloons worth 2 Wins each |
| 6 | 24 | 120 | A raised stage behind a lavafall, first secret chest |
| 7 | 34 | 350 | Moving platforms and gems |
| 8 | 46 | 1,100 | Raised again, a grapple flower, secret chest |
| 9 | 60 | 3,500 | Crate walls you smash through and swinging logs |
| 10 | 76 | 11,000 | Narrow sliding platforms, secret chest |
| 11 | 96 | 35,000 | The narrowest platforms, everything moves |
The pad Wins above are before any boosts. Your Wins multiplier, a 2x Wins boost and the VIP pad all make them bigger.
Stage tips
Stages 1 to 2. These are for learning to aim. Point your camera at the top of the next platform before you hold.
Stage 3. From here on the platforms don't line up, so turn your camera toward each one before you stretch. Stretch through the speed rings: each one gives a short speed boost and bonus Wins.
Stages 4 and 5. The walls have a hole in the middle. Aim through the hole, not over the wall. On Stage 5 the balloons over the gaps are worth 2 Wins each.
Stage 6. The stage starts at the top of a tall cliff with lava pouring down it, so aim your first stretch upward.
Stage 7. Two of the platforms slide from side to side. Wait until one is coming toward you before you let go. Gems float in the gaps and give bonus Wins.
Stage 8. Another raised stage. One gap has a grapple flower you can stretch to on the way across.
Stage 9. Every gap has a wall, but they're crates, so you can smash straight through them. Watch the timing on the swinging logs.
Stages 10 and 11. The platforms are narrower and all of them slide. These are the hardest stages in the world, so take your time.
Secret chests
Stages 6, 8 and 10 each hide a cave behind their lavafall. Walk through the fall at the right spot and you'll find a chest worth 5 times that stage's pad Wins. Each chest opens for you once every 12 hours.
If you fall in the lava
Falling in sends you back to the lobby. The game offers a paid "Second chance" that puts you back on the last platform you stood on, but you never need it. Every stage can be done by training a bit more and trying again.
