*SPOILERS* I made a flowchart of Cocoon based on my understanding of it
Hi devs, I'm a big fan of Cocoon, it's my favourite indie game of the year!

I spent almost a week breaking down its flow design and in the process I found I liked Cocoon even more, it had more depth than I expected! and I've benefited greatly from it! (I'm also a game developer)

*SPOILERS*
Flowchart, sorry it's only in Chinese[pbs.twimg.com]

So cool! These are much more fancy than the ones I made when designing the game ;)

Wow, Jeppe Carlsen? You are the COOLEST because you designed this masterpiece!
I can't imagine how much effort you put into building this (no wonder it took 6 and a half years to complete) because it looks so complex and so smooth at the same time, I sincerely admire the result!

Thank you. Big team effort at Geometric :)

Yes, the honor belongs to everyone involved in making COCOON :)
I also have a question, if the inactive purple ball was originally inside the green ball, why didn't we see the purple ball nested inside the green ball when we first found the green ball inside the white ball? Is this intented or an oversight?

Good observation! I imagine it might've been intentionally omitted so that the player doesn't divert all their focus towards searching for the purple ball immediately after obtaining and entering the green ball. Finding purple happens naturally, so it would only be a distraction if players were looking extra hard for it.

So just like there are many other one-way routes in COCOON, again avoiding players getting lost and distracted, which is a great design choice!
Thanks for the reply!
