Run and jump through five different dimensions, find the portal, and help Lil’ Red get back to grandma’s cabin!

 Project Overview

In this tale of vibrant colors, confusion, and tension, the stranded Lil’ Red must traverse dangerous and dynamic dimensions if she hopes to find her way home:

 

Lil’ Red finds herself stranded in a field. Use the left and right arrow keys to help Lil’ Red quickly run across the field. Use the spacebar to help Lil’ Red jump over boxes and trees to get home. As you help Lil’ Red traverse the natural obstacles in her path, she’s bound to find her way back to grandma’s cabin. Soon, with very little options, Lil’ Red finds a pit leading down. When she jumps in, she finds herself surrounded by a sea of red. But look, she’s finally found a portal! With no other options, Lil’ Red jumps in hoping she’s one step closer to grandma’s cabin.

 

Oh, no! Lil’ Red finds herself in the depths of a dark fiery cave. Help Lil’ Red jump across the dark coal platforms. But be careful where you jump! Avoid the spikey obstacles and burning fires that could only spell doom. This is certainly a dangerous dimension, but when Lil’ Red makes it across the cavern, she finds another portal! With no idea where she’s headed next, Lil’ Red takes another leap of faith.

 

In the rest of her journey, Lil’ Red traverses mountains and oceans, supported only by jumping across floating box platforms. She sees a lovely waterfall that she also jumps across. Yet, despite all the natural splendor, Lil’ Red sure is missing grandma’s cabin. She finds another portal and has an awesome adventure surfing the clouds during a starry night. After making it through another dangerous yet beautiful adventure, Lil’ Red finds herself in oddly familiar territory.

 

She traverses the platforms of this bright and colorful forest, knocking over trees that she uses as bridges. Gleefully, she jumps over trees and runs across platforms. Finally, Lil’ Red sees Grandmas’ cabin, with one final sprint and a jump for joy, Lil’ Red is home!
