About This Game

It is impossible to rescue the entire planet as it is destined to be devoured by a mythological demon possessing a fish's head. Acting as a puppet that consumes everything it interacts with, you strive to salvage as much of Earth's splendor as possible before the conclusion. Initially, you traverse the globe, able to absorb only minute items. A collected glass marble serves as your head, while a pair of jellybeans functions as your hands. Tiny creatures like rats that kick you and golden retrievers that threaten to crush you pose a threat, but your puppet form expands with every object collected. Ultimately, you will transform into a colossal entity using fire trucks for limbs, capable of swallowing whole buildings. The Wonderful End of the World guides you through 12 distinct environments containing over a thousand treasures to collect before the finale. Snatch confections from a sweet shop where gummy fish float in a blueberry stream; explore a dreamlike library where words have escaped their pages; and navigate the Megalopolis to witness a vibrant apocalypse parade, devour it, and seize the world's tallest skyscraper. The game features 10 achievements for discovering hidden zones, 12 unique areas to explore, three gameplay modes including Timed, Timeless, and Exploration, and 16 upbeat musical tracks to maintain the rhythm.
