Twisted World
Story:
You happen to be the strangest aberration in your village. Things turn south when right out of left field you are thrown into the depths of despair. You find yourself in a world of ferocious fiends. Can you twist the world? or will the world twist you?
Warning:
The "R" reload actually loads last save so you don't have to complete the game in a single sitting. Just hit "R" in the house and your old save will be loaded. Lastly, be sure to save after bosses lest you lose your progress. This game is extremely hard as it was designed to be a speedrun/rage game. You have been warned!
Controls:
- -WASD: Move/Aim (Use "W" to go though doors)
- -J: Interact/Attack
- -R: Load Last Save/Skip Intro
- -K&L: Rotate Axis
- -E: Swap Spell
- -Shift: Dash/Exit Dialogue
- -Spacebar: Jump
Power Ups:
- Ink Heart: increase max hp by 1. There are 5 of these to find.
- Defective Double Jump: A midair jump that doesn't work well while falling
- Dash: Cancels velocity and launches you in the direction of your input
- Pointed Stick: Makes you wish there was a better melee option. You can hold J to auto attack. Your attack direction won't change while attacking.
- Flame Spell: A spell that causes an explosion. Watch Out! the fire is not friendly!
- Gale Spell: A spell that bounces in a preset direction and launches targets. First use picks a direction, and the second use casts the spell. While not effective on most foes, it makes a great tool for maneuverability.
- Rotate Axis: Allows you to rotate the world. Now you can return home!
Characters:
Char
You didn't always look this way! You used to be just like the other spawn, but slowly and surely you began to change. Now you are the oddball in a town of aberrations.
Spawner
This world has no concept of mother and father. It does however have a concept of Spawner and Donor, and this is your Spawner.
Bully
As the meanest spawn on the block, they are always pushing you around.
Evil
Just your friendly neighborhood evil god. A millennia in the void has left their social skills rather lacking. They don't mean to be rude.
Tree
A crotchety old tree who loathes that the world isn't what it used to be. Since this world has no weaponry, you'll have to make due with one of their limbs.
Pyreye
A flaming red eye with a god complex. While they think they're hot stuff, they are just small fry.
Nose
literally just a nose.
Redfinger
The final boss of the game (as of now). There is much more to it than meets the eye.
Note:
- You can interact with anything that provides a question mark. Sometimes inspecting something multiple times provides different results.
- Even though there is no menu, there is a functioning save system. If you press "R" at the starting house you will load your previous save. No need to complete the game in a single day
- There are 6 fountains in the game, two of them are next to the drop off. Don't forget to save! Defeating bosses doesn't save progress!
- Some bosses are obscenely difficult to beat. Not all bosses need to be defeated to beat the game. Either the nose or hand need to be defeated to exit. So the second area is completely optional.
- Not every area was designed with the intention of being traversed in any direction. If you have trouble going a certain way, try another direction.
- Due to a glitch, the gust spell only effects enemies in melee range. It still works properly as a method for movement however, and it works against slimes and bouncy eyeballs.
- Pressing "T" activates debug text. I'm sorry!

The story is really ingtriguing! The game feels very smooth and polished.
I'm starting thinking that I'm really bad at it lol. It is very easy to die and I don't really get where I should go and what to do. Respawned at the beginning like 40 times. Now I'm frustradet and wanna go home XD
So yeah, the game seems interesting. Wonder what abilities wait me ahead. But maybe next time =)
I put a Warning right under the description that points out that there is a functioning save system and that the game needn't be completed in a single sitting. There are multiple fountains that act as checkpoints throughout the game that can be used with "J" when "?" appears above Char's head. Additionally, every non-boss powerup saves the game (but not player position). This game was designed to be a rage/speedrun game, so if you are having a hard time its because you are playing through what would be the hardest difficulty (in a full version if I ever make it)
yeah, I by the beginning a meant that first fountain, sorry
ah its fine. I've just had a lot of players who never realized that this game uses save files (ran out of time making the menu even though I implemented save files) so I tend to jump to conclusions. I won't lie though, I definitely made the game too hard.
Don't got this way without the Stick! you will find yourself stuck and need to respawn! I can't fix it right now do to jam reasons
The other spot blocked off by crates wont softlock you, however. So feel free to check it out early.
If anyone gets stuck anywhere (or notices some sort of bug I missed) Please feel free to comment it below. If you get stuck on an area or boss fight I'll do my best to reply with how to proceed.
