Storybook

Once upon a wibble-wobble, in a world not so far away, you stumble into a land where fairytales come alive! Get ready to giggle, wobble, and puzzle your way through "Storybrook", my entry for the Human Fall Flat Workshop Competition (Theme: Fairytale).

Possible Achievement (1): Hot Off the Press - Use the furnace to get to the magical book.
Possible Achievement (2): Shelf-Care – Find all 6 golden books and throw them off the map.
Possible Achievement (3): Sharp Shooter – Hit the middle of the target.
Possible Achievement (4): Sky's the Limit – Open the heavenly gate and complete the level.

Without any shortcut and hunting all the achievements, you will need at least ~12 minutes. If (intended) shortcuts are taken, you will already be done in ~ 4 min.


SPOILERS AHEAD:
You begin in a cozy library where tall bookshelves line the walls, and a giant book hovers above you. A tiny shimmer already guides you the way: You need to reach that book…
You'll need to use the bookshelves as stairs or, just jump into the furnace to get up there… Eventually the book will enable you to enter a new world!

Misty Mysteries
After your bookish leap, you land in an enchanted forest, where thick fog covers the ground. To find your way through this spooky swamp, use one of the glowing mushrooms to clear the fog. You can take several ways through, either the wooden bridge, water lilies or take the dry route to avoid getting swampy. You may also be able to find a shortcut here, try it out!

Gingerbread Getaway
Next stop: a land full of sweets where calories don't count. To move forward, you'll need to climb the gingerbread house and towers made of candy. Not able to reach one of the candy towers? Well, try to use this handy candy cart as a bridge. Eventually, grab a candy cane and slide to the next part, but be careful not to sugar crash!

Tricky Tower
You now face a tower... Use the platforms to make your way to the top. Once there, stand on the magic spot in front of the mirror to summon a crown – it's time to get your bling on! Or, if you're feeling like a sneaky hero, find the hidden book-lever above the chest (it’s the one out of line). Pull it to reveal a shortcut. If you decide to go the magical door route, you'll need to swing across using rusty chains. It's an adventure either way!

Miner's Mission
On the other side of the river, you’ll need dynamite to blast your way through. Boom, baby! Once inside the cave, navigate the sparkling crystal labyrinth to find your way to the next island. It's a gem of a challenge!

Leafy Lift
Finally, you reach a small field. Use the slingshot to hit the target and plant one of the beans in a pot. Now, fill the watering can from the well and watch your magical bean grow into a giant tendril! If your timing is right, it’ll lift you sky-high. Missed it? No worries, just leaf it to the leaves and climb up.

Heavenly Heights
Over the clouds, you’ll find a celestial gate. The stairs seem to disappear once in a while, you may not be able to use all the stairs up to the gate, so just use the cloudy railing. However, you need to step through the gate and take one last fall to complete the level. It's the grand finale, so make it a graceful dive!

Where to find the books?
(1) Next to a tree on the left of the swamp (within the fog).
(2) Inside a doughnut next to the candy slide.
(3) Within the cave – Heading right twice after the entrance.
(4) Within the secret part of the tower on the stone floor below the stairs – Reachable when using the secret path or coming from the cave
(5) Behind the archery target
(6) Stage above the cave, next to the water – Reachable when tendril grew. You need to get past a few trees to reach it.
