@WarpDoor I love the format. Several mini games. Different gameplay pieced unified by the theme of longing

Take a look at this colouring-book puzzle from my solo project #ToyWorldsAtlas

Each colour option triggers a unique sound and animation. Using solfeggio, the player must discover a combination that solves the riddle.

Evolutionary adaptation, the process of fitting into the environment, resembles a universal acid that seeps into every crack and eats through everything.

Excited to share share a gameplay preview of my game project, Toy Worlds Atlas!

It's a classical colour-book with an intelligent twist. Each page of the atlas presents a unique puzzle that represents ideas about mind, games, and metaphysics.
