'''Levitate Style''' is a [[Styles|style]] that unlocks at 20,000 lifetime [[Gems|gems]]. Welltaro floats serenely down the well: gravity pulls a third weaker, giving a permanently reduced fall rate similar to holding a [[Heart Balloon]], at the cost of slightly weaker jumps.
'''Levitate Style''' is a [[Styles|style]] that unlocks at 20,000 lifetime [[Gems|gems]]. Gravity's acceleration is cut by a third (0.2 to about 0.13 per step); the fall-speed cap itself is unchanged, so a fall long enough to reach terminal velocity ends up at the same top speed as normal — the style only slows how fast you get there. This differs from [[Heart Balloon]], which instead lowers the fall-speed cap by 1 while leaving acceleration normal. Jumps are slightly weaker (×0.85).

Levitate Style is a style that unlocks at 20,000 lifetime gems. Gravity's acceleration is cut by a third (0.2 to about 0.13 per step); the fall-speed cap itself is unchanged, so a fall long enough to reach terminal velocity ends up at the same top speed as normal — the style only slows how fast you get there. This differs from Heart Balloon, which instead lowers the fall-speed cap by 1 while leaving acceleration normal. Jumps are slightly weaker (×0.85).
