Swing Orb

A swing anchor: the player latches on, builds momentum and gets launched.

Placed up high, the orb acts as an anchor point: once attached, the player swings around it, and the moment they let go decides the direction and strength of the launch. It lets the player clear gaps too wide for a jump, and the release timing becomes a skill in its own right, to be chained with the other abilities to keep momentum going.

Flip platform

Flips when the player jumps, forcing you to anticipate the input and the landing.

A platforming object that reacts to the player's jump: by flipping, it forces them to keep their remaining jumps in reserve to correct their trajectory. A single input now requires anticipating the landing, opening up new possibilities and adding depth to the jumping sequences. Note: the final animation and visuals for the platform are not implemented yet.

Paraglider

A controlled glide that stretches and steers the fall trajectory.

A gliding ability that, once airborne, reduces fall speed and lets the player steer their horizontal trajectory to clear larger gaps and fine-tune their landing point. It turns a simple jump into a genuine aerial traversal phase, meant to be combined with the other abilities.

Rails

A rail system that guides the player along a defined path.

Once latched on, the player automatically follows a path laid out in advance by the level designer, at a controlled speed, and can detach at any time to chain into a jump or another ability. The rail is used both to cross areas that can't be traversed on foot and to frame more spectacular moments or set the pacing of a segment.

Slow-Mo Orb

Slows down time on activation to thread the most nerve-racking passages.

On activation, the orb slows down the game's time flow for a short duration while the player's controls stay responsive, giving them a window to read and adjust their movement through the most demanding passages. The resource is limited, which encourages picking the right moment rather than overusing it.

Teleport to save point

Opens a window to pick a save point and teleport straight to it.

Rather than a simple respawn at the last checkpoint, the tool opens an interface listing the save points already unlocked; the player selects one and teleports to it instantly. They can freely return to an area, restart a specific segment or avoid long back-and-forth trips. It is also a strong iteration booster during playtests, letting you jump straight to the slice of level you want to test.

Rotating platform

A continuously rotating platform, an unstable footing to cross on rhythm.

Timed traps

Timed on/off cycles: reading the rhythm and nailing the timing.

Rollback with orbs

Returns the player to a previous state/position tied to the orbs: a controlled reset.

Conveyor belt

Applies a constant velocity to whoever stands on it, in a given direction.

Dash-breakable wall

Only shatters under a dash impact: a hidden gate gated by the ability.

Laser circle traps

Laser beams rotating around a center, with tight windows to slip through.
