About the Game

Note: This game is made in Japan.

The description is translated, but the in-game text is in Japanese — please be aware!

Note: “ORK” is pronounced “O-R-K,” not “orc.”

A stage-based 2D side-scrolling action game where you use abilities to reach the goal

A story you’ve never quite seen before

Light was researching flowers grown at home for the development of a new medicine.
Suddenly, with a thunderous rumble, mysterious flames struck his house directly!
Looking closer, he noticed that the hit area had lost all of its color.

Rushing to the scene are his housemate Twin, a Wappen that smells of gunpowder, a mysterious lifeform named Meltz living in a cave, and the magician Magic.
They claim that strange flames are erupting from a distant forest.

This is serious!
Before all the color in the world fades away, head to the source of the flames!

Gameplay

Clear each stage by cleverly using the abilities:

“Hit” / “Cut” / “Break” / “Melt” / “Create”

Some stages only allow limited abilities—
such as only “Hit” and “Cut”, or only “Break,” “Melt,” and “Create.”

Use what you have and find the solution!

Hit

Pound it hard and send it flying high!
Heavy stuff? No sweat — give it a try!

Cut

Cut what’s thin and drop it clean,
Throw your blade — hit spots unseen!

Break

Walls and rocks? Tear them apart!
Set it down — it blows on a timed start!

Melt

Crouch down low, become like goo,
Stretch your reach — your arms slide through!

Create

No seeds, no tricks, no hidden crates —
Watch me pull a big box out of thin air… wait!
