Your Performance Awaits

In World Weaver's Ballad, you are a mystical performer whose songs can reshape reality. Your task isn't to escape, but to prepare the stage for the grand performance to come. Each level is an unfinished scene, and only when the set is perfectly dressed will the final stage marker unlock.

But be mindful of the audience! A swift, stylish performance will earn you thunderous applause, while mistakes and missed cues will test their patience.

The Songs of Creation

Use your ballad to manipulate the world with two powerful songs:

[1] Song of Growth Transform dormant trees into sturdy bridges, opening new paths across the stage.

[2] Song of Breakdown Tear down parts of the old set to make way for the new. This powerful song is limited to 5 uses per scene!
