#Game Systems
You are Rick, the yellow frog, and using his extending tongue for rope maneuvers, you must solve puzzles and journey towards the insect-filled paradise.Rick's tongue stretches infinitely and can be attached to boxes, vines, etc. to perform rope maneuvers and move objects.
In VINE, the laws of physics are very important, and if you understand gravity acceleration, centrifugal force, Rck can swing ike Tarzan.
Once you become familiar with the rope mechanic, you journey to Cosmos. The Cosmos building is old and dilapidated, with treacherous paths. If you are smart, you can solve the puzzles and easily reach Paradise. However, it won't be easy. With over 200 puzzles awaiting, it will still be quite challenging.
Depending on your abilities, Rick will be able to consume many insects. Moreover, if you come across Uru's journals hidden throughout Cosmos, you will learn about the events that unfolded.
For some unknown reason, there are many hazardous contraptions inside the Cosmos building. Will Rick be able to reach Paradise?
Thank you for your time!
