Our take on Wish World
The defining mechanic is the use of dimensional doors to switch between past and future versions of the world while platforming through each level. Progress depends on reaching level endings, collecting Wishes, and spending them to repair worlds and reach the player’s own.
What is Wish World?
Wish World is a fast-paced platformer built around speedrunning.
Players move through levels using dimensional doors to jump between the past and future, then reach each level’s end to obtain a Wish. Wishes are used to repair worlds and make it possible to reach the player’s own world. The game includes fluid platforming, a collection-focused objective, colourful environments, and controls described as friendly. Its difficulty is part of the design, and the stated completion time is 4–7 hours depending on the player. A story was added in a recent update. Wish World was made individually over six years and is structured for players who want to revisit levels while pursuing speed.
