To reach the portal, you\'ll need -to go through any existing orange portals, light all yellow beacons, -avoid things like fireballs and blades, or use any satanic power orbs -lying around. These special abilities include: - -- Gravity -- Teleport -- Rewind -- Spawn platform -- Roar (DLC) -- Rocket (DLC) -- Shadow world (DLC) - -For the main storyline, there are nine floors to beat. Each floor -contains nine regular levels, one boss level, and one bonus level; -although you don\'t technically need to beat all levels to advance to -the next floor. - -![SEUM Floor -Menu](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20210101-seum/seum_floor.png) +To accomplish each level, you will need to get to the final blue portal under a +certain time limit.
