Game Play Modes
This is a brief explanation of the various game modes players can expect to enjoy and unlock. Initially some basic modes are unlocked for play, with additional game modes are unlocked further into the game to extend lifespan and re-playability.
In addition, meeting certain conditions such as completing the game without taking any damage, or collecting a number of items in the stage, unlocks achievement tokens and counts towards the game’s “100% completion” tracking.
The game also tracks the “best times” for the various levels, so players can go back to replay the levels to achieve a faster time.
SINGLE PLAYER
Tutorial Mode – short levels to teach players the basic mechanics of the game as well as show them what endgame abilities they can look forward to. (Available from Start)
Quest Mode – An extended 30-level campaign where players gradually unlock the abilities and make use them to complete the stages. Also gives them hints on more advanced techniques. (Available from Start)
Quest Mode: New Game Plus – The original 30 levels are tweaked to be more difficult with additional obstacles which forces players use different solutions to overcome the levels. New tilesets are also used so the stages look quite different visually. Unlocked upon completing the normal Quest Mode.
Select Level - Players can replay any levels they have completed to gain 2 new achievements, i.e. taking no damage gives them a Perfect Level Complete token, and collecting the 5 gems scattered in the stage fives them the All Gems Collected token. All these tokens count towards the game’s Game Completion % which tracks the player’s progress in the game.
TWO PLAYER
Speed Run - 2 players compete in a series of levels to see who reaches the exit 1st. Only levels which have been unlocked in single player quest mode will be available for play here.
Crystal Hunter – 2 players compete in a series of levels to see who can collect all 5 gems scattered in the level and then reach the exit. Unlocked upon completion of Single Player Quest Mode.
Made-of-Glass – Players compete to reach the exit without taking any damage. Unlocked upon completion of Single Player Quest Mode.
ADDITIONAL UNLOCKS: the God Mode option for the “Life” setting in the options menu is unlocked upon completion of the Single Player quest mode. Using God Mode to complete levels will not earn the player any achievements or tokens. It is basically for players to run through the map to understand the obstacles they will encounter without having to worry about dying.
