The story mode establishes the core color-change mechanic and introduces additional themed mechanics along the way, eventually leading to synergistic puzzles designed to build on what was learned up to that point.

A.V. is a music-based Stealth-Puzzle game developed in the Unity engine. The game places the player in the role of a rogue music-processing algorithm from a computer's sound systems. From this role, the player can view the world only through the use of sound. When idle, the player views the game world as only a plain, black void. However, each sound in the game sends out a pulse of energy, illuminating a small portion of the world around that sound's source. (Or, in simpler terms, sound = light.) Through this mechanic, players can visualize their surroundings and learn to navigate through a strange, complex, and lively computer world while trying to avoid the anti-virus drones that serve a rather seriously distraught computer.

Aaru's Awakening is a 2d action platformer taking place in the world of Lumenox. The world of Lumenox is controlled by the four deities "Dawn", "Day", "Dusk" and "Night" that rule the world together in peace. The world is held together with transitions: Night covers the world with darkness and then Dawn returns light back into the world. Day then releases his grip to pass control to Dusk.
The game begins with Dawn sending Aaru on a quest to Nights domain to stop his plan of ruining the balance. To get to Night's domain, Aaru must travel through the Day and Dusk domains before reaching Night. By going out of his own environment and to other domains Aaru is taking a great risk of disturbing the balance of Lumenox. In each domain Aaru is faced with challenges which the player must complete.
The character Aaru can do basic movement such as run and jump but he also has two special abilities. For one he has a powerful "charge" which enables him to charge in any direction no matter what. I.e. if Aaru is falling he can "charge" to stop the fall and by that save himself. He can also break specific walls by charging into them. The second ability is teleporting. Aaru can shoot an orb anywhere he wants and afterwards the player can teleport Aaru to the orbs location.
With these two abilities the player needs to control Aaru and complete the levels within the domains.

You enter the room. Squinting your eyes under the dim light, you can make up the improbable form of a pig with wings. It is glorious. "We are Pigasus. Mighty game developers", asserts the airborne swine, "And this here is Adventurezator".

"Adventurezator is an adventure game. Well, sort of. You see, we all love adventure games (as all sentient beings in their right minds should) but you must admit that even the best of them lack something very special: good old YOU."

"In Adventurezator, you not only play an ever-renewed pile of brilliantly designed point-and-click adventures: you actually get to design your own, and publish them too! The best part? You can do that without all that boring programming, or math. It's all very technical, but (if we had to put it in layman's terms) it works like a very fancy cable connected directly to your brilliance."

You stare at the flying mammal for a while, barely containing your happiness. You wonder where you could have access to such marvels - Pigasus takes off, and fly into the steam clouds above.
