World Absorber is a puzzle game about connecting different worlds to get their abilities and using those abilities to get to the exit.
If you get stuck or don't understand how the game works here is the solution for the first level.
There are 2 worlds,in the first you can't jump high enough to get to the exit,the exit only exists in the first world, in the second world your jump height is increased and you can jump high enough to get to the exit in the first world.
The solution is you press Space to make a connection press 1 for the world that is going to absorb the properties of an other world,and then press 2 to choose the absorbed world.
The first world receives the properties of the second allowing you to jump high enough and get to the exit.
Ye I should have spent more time explaining the game. I'll provide the solution for the first one.

Wow - absolutely terrific concept. The controls and mechanics are difficult to learn, as noted. Providing a solution for the first level helped a lot. I'm glad I spent the time to learn, as it's actually a very rewarding game!
I'm stuck on the first level with 4 worlds. Oh well - I'm sure I'll figure it out.
One critique is that when there are three worlds, the solution to room 1 is often the same as the solution to room 2. Perhaps that's remedied when there's 4 worlds. I'll keep trying to beat this level and find out ;)
I think it's neat and the puzzles are very creative, but the mechanics are implemented in an extremely confusing way and the controls are qwerty specific which makes them very strange for us non-qwerty users :p
Great concept. For me, it was a bit hard because I instinctively always press "spacebar" to jump and since that makes a connection it would really mess me up, hah.

Confusing gameplay and hard-to-understand controls: I could not get pass the third puzzle. For some reason this is not a bad thing: I like games that have their own logic.
Hey everyone, Thank you all for the feedback. This was my first try at creating a puzzle game and i learned a lot through the process and through your feedback. I'll be working on a post compo version improving a lot of stuff like better introducing the player to the mechanics of the game,fixing a few levels and bugs and polishing the game more. Thank you for playing and providing your feedback :)
The concept is interesting, but I got stuck at the first level with 3 worlds, having reached the door. Here's a screenshot in case it's a bug: http://i.imgur.com/RYFTcX5.jpg
The first level with the three worlds requires to get a cube from the second world to activate the door in the first. I uploaded a Walkthrough gif of that level:http://i.imgur.com/uXTPBfJ.gif Thank you for the feedback : )
So many levels and so beautifully constructed, I have no words! I did not have any issues in uncovering the solution to the puzzles, they felt very intuitive, until rooms 1-4 appeared, the third or second of those type. I played until then and I loved it. Great job!
It was really confusing what you were supposed to do. Once I got it the puzzles were pretty fun. Sometimes it was difficult to know what the difference was in each of the worlds. Interesting idea!
Am I missing something?
