The Land of The Small and The Large
When designing this particular level for the Lost Adventurers, the concept was inspired by the movies Honey I Shrink the Kids and Honey I Blew Up the Baby. In that regard, we wanted to show the world from the perspectives of both the shrunk and enlarged scales.

Jump n Jax
Jump n Jax is the story of a spider who went out one day and traveled a little too far from home. The spider needs to get home before it becomes dark and loses the ability to see where they are going. Along the journey back home, the spider can complete three additional side quests before arriving at the final destination, the spider’s home.
However, being a frail spider in a big world also means the spider must travel carefully. Using their webs costs the spider health in return, but that’s okay because there is always an Ant or two lying around for the spider to eat and regain health.
