Demo version --> Easy mode (Strawberry mode)
“Into the Sinkhole” is platformer that requires you to head down towards the bottom of the Sinkhole.
Constantly challenge yourself!
The springboard platform will try to prevent you from going down.
With a single push, you could find yourself all the way back at the top.
Try to use a combination of jumps and dashes to avoid obstructive platforms, as it won't be straightforward path.
What will you discover at the bottom of the Sinkhole?
Numerous artifacts have been discovered around the huge Sinkhole.
But since it’s very deep, it’s too dangerous for humans to go explore themselves.
As a result, the research team is sending AI-robot, ‘Laika’, into the Sinkhole.
So... what secrets will be hidden down there?
Easy mode (Strawberry mode) / Hard mode (Watermelon mode)
‘Strawberry mode’ is a relatively easy mode. You should choose this mode if you would like to focus on enjoying the story elements of the game.
‘Watermelon mode’ is the hardest level of difficulty. With just one mistake, you might even end up at the beginning again. If you have mastered platformers, this mode is for you.
Various types of platforms.
A safe platform that you can walk on, a moving platform, a platform that disappears and reappears, and a springboard platform that can send you up very high.
But don’t be alarmed, you may find that sometimes the springboard platform can be useful in certain situations.
