This page focuses on the differences between the HD and non-HD games.

= General changes =

=== Slope jumping ===
You gain extra altitude when jumping up slopes in non-HD. You also get a small speed boost when jumping down slopes in both versions, although it is larger in non-HD.

=== Slope jumping ===
It is easier to stand on top of enemies in HD.

=== Out of bounds ===
In non-HD you can get out of some of the levels and noclip to the exit.

=== Damage boosts ===

==== ====

= The First Encounter =

== Sand Canyon ==
In non-HD you can go out of bounds in the starting area and noclip to the exit.

== Tomb of Ramses III ==

== Valley of the Kings ==
The Aludran Reptiloid Highlander has more health in HD (20 rockets to 14 in non-HD).
In non-HD you can go out of bounds in the gold ankh area and noclip to the exit.

== Oasis ==
== Dunes ==
== Suburbs ==
== Sewers ==

 === Bull riding ===
-The fastest single boost in the game. Just get on top of a Werebull while it is running. Usually does not work if on even ground with the Werebull, but easy to do if it comes charging down a hill. After a while it will stop to attack you, but it is possible to cancel out the attack by jumping. You can also let its attack hit you while you jump to perform a boosted bull jump.
+A really fast and relatively simple boost. Just get on top of a Werebull while it is running. Usually does not work if on even ground with the Werebull, easier to do when it comes charging down a hill. After a while it will stop to attack you, but it is possible to cancel out the attack by jumping out of its attack range and landing back on again. You can also let its attack hit you while you jump to perform a boosted bull jump.
 === Super Kleer jump ===
 Involves riding on multiple Kleers to build up enough momentum to get boosted up a sloped wall. Can result in altitudes as high as a strong cannon jump in non-HD.
-=== Floating Gnaar jump ===
+=== Falling through the ground ===
-Unlike in non-HD, the floating Gnaars do not float higher if you simply keep jumping on them. However, you can trick them to do so by jumping horizontally out of their attacking range. Even better, if you scroll wheel jump after doing this they will keep following you upwards, meaning you can reach any height.
+There is a glitch which makes it possible to fall through the ground by pressing crouch as you are about to land. The glitch is dependent on frame rate, altitude and the thickness of the ground geometry. The lower the frame rate and the longer you fall as well as the thinner geometry, the higher the chances of falling through the ground. It is practically impossible on 60 FPS, hence why 30 FPS should be used to perform this glitch.
 === Turbo Laser ===
-Bind primary fire to mouse wheel and the Lasergun can fire three times as fast, dealing 600 DPS (second only to Cannon).
