You have long looked up at the constantly-cycling portal above your world, wishing that you lived in one of the universes up there, particularly one that has a ground rather than the bottomless pit that you have spent your entire life precariously jumping on clouds and fish to avoid falling into. One day, you decide you've had enough of your life's never-ending platforming challenges, and climb up to the portal, jump through... and find yourself in a world nearly identical to the previous one, aside from the color of the sky.
You didn't go to all this effort just to wind up in a palette-swap reality, though, so you decide to keep climbing up to the portal again and again, trying your luck until you finally reach the one universe with a ground.
Can you make it to your ideal world, one with a study ground and soft grass? Of course you can; I believe in you.
CONTROLS:
Arrow keys - move
Z - jump
Hold Z to glide
M to mute, P to pause
EDIT: A post-compo version is now available! If you like the original version, feel free to check out the updated one. It includes lives, an actual difficulty progression between levels, and copious fireballs.
