Prologue
Once upon a time, lived a curious and adventurous child named Oliver.
One sunny morning, his mother, Mrs. Jenkins, decided to take him on a leisurely stroll through the nearby forest, hoping to immerse him in the wonders of nature.
In The forest, Oliver followed a small, vibrant blue creature and found an ancient, moss-covered stone door.
Did Oliver step through the door? What did he find there? I guess it's a mystery.
How the game related to the theme: Mystery
The story of Oliver's adventure in the forest encapsulated the essence of mystery, as he ventured into the unknown, following a strange blue creature that led him to a mystical door.
Known Bugs
To smooth your experience in the game, if you have any bug that prevents you from completing the level, you can click the "Restart Level" option in the options menu (ESC while playing).
Please let us know of any bugs.
- Continuing jumping can sometimes cause a higher jump than expected.
- If you stand on top of scaling objects (Green ones) there is a chance to be pushed by them out of the map. Don't worry you will respawn to the start of the level. (To solve this issue you can jump and then change universe to scale the object or to try stand more in the middle of the object when scaling it)

How do i pass the level with the pillars that change shape? it just pushes me off to the side every time
Hey!
We are sorry but this level has a bug when you get pushed off the map (review ‘Known Bugs’ section) but the solution is to stand in the center or jump while scaling it.
We also have a YouTube video in this page that show a walkthrough of the game, you are welcome to watch and see how to pass this level or maybe just what are the levels ahead.
Thank you for playing our game :)
Nice universe switching mechanic, enjoyed the descriptive story and artwork, feels like a full fledged game, thank you for making this!
Over-all, pretty good. Graphics were cute. Not particularly challenging, outside some of the timing for toggling between worlds - hard to time a moving platform that you can't see. And there were a couple "puzzles", or at least interactions that either felt like they could have been either a "shoehorned" puzzle, or a bug, and I couldn't tell which (in particular a level where I couldn't jump up platforms but could 'clip" onto them, and the fact that I couldn't carry the rock over the button, that could have been a "puzzle" or bad collision detection with the buttons)
The last level was definitely tough, but mainly because of the bug that causes the player to get knocked off the pillars. Because the timing of the platforms immediately after is so perfectly unforgiving, there are many many chances to hit that bug. I didn't find that jumping helped much - standing in the middle seemed to be the much more reliable of the solutions in my case.
Also that last level kind of "breaks" the game logic. Starting when you get the world switching ability everything that changes has two states - then on the last level the pillars have multiple states (and maybe even differing numbers of states, since I could line then up differently on different runs?) That was obviously deliberate, but it violates the world model that the previous levels built for the player.
And please please please will developers stop assuming that players want to either slowly read the game story or skip it completely. Some of us read quickly, and get very bored watching text slowly appear.
Everything you said here we have considered fixing and completely agree with, we just had different priorities in terms of what things were critical to fix and improve before the end of the game jam.
Regarding the last level breaking the game logic, that's an interesting take, maybe if the mechanic was implemented differently it would have made more sense.
Thank you for playing!
Challenging game, the ending is tough but it can be done after a few tries.
The universe switching idea is innovative.
The game was very fun and the animation is great , i really loved the character animation.
