ParaLily

ParaLily is a side-scrolling platforming adventure about Lily, a little girl trying to rescue her stuffed dinosaur, Patches. After Patches comes to life in the middle of the night and runs through a mysterious door, Lily follows through a series of dangerous parallel universes. She can shift between them to avoid enemies, solve puzzles and find her way forward.

Lily’s journey

This first chapter introduces Lily’s journey through paranormal universes, where she collects magical glyphs and uncovers the connection between herself and these worlds. The environments, characters and animations are hand-drawn, and levels include puzzles, collectibles and hidden pathways.

Shifting universes

Each universe has its own space, themes, enemies and attributes. A level cannot be traversed by interacting with only one universe, so you must use the spatial relationships between them to progress. Lily’s momentum carries across shifts, allowing her to continue a jump in another universe. These mechanics combine precision platforming with puzzle-solving across multi-layered level designs.
