About

In the whimsical realm of Ruffy and the Riverside, I find myself armed with the enchanting SWAP ability. This magical tool allows me to copy and paste textures, transforming icy landscapes into fiery lava or converting waterfalls into sprawling vines! Venturing through this open-world action game, I encounter challenges, battles, and even the chance to skate on straw bales. My imagination becomes my guide as I shape the world around me, making it a truly unique adventure!

Story

Embark on an exhilarating journey alongside Ruffy to prevent the devious Groll from wrecking the World Core, causing turmoil in Riverside. Throughout your travels, you’ll visit remarkable locales accompanied by friendly allies such as Pip, the chatty bee; Sir Eddler, the daring mole; and Silja, the sagacious turtle. Encounter a vibrant group of characters, each with their distinctive narratives and dialogues, as the thrilling saga unfolds, revealing delightful twists for Ruffy at every turn.

Unique Gameplay

In my gaming journey as Ruffy, the Chosen One, I wield the extraordinary power of SWAP. This enchanting ability lets me morph the game world in ways beyond imagination – turning the sun into a moon, or freezing water into fiery lava at a whim. As I navigate through an array of captivating puzzles, I manipulate objects effortlessly with my mind-boggling SWAP powers.

I can swap a stone for wood to craft a boat, or turn a stubborn wall into rubble, paving my path forward. The limitless potential of this unique ability ensures that every moment is filled with magic and surprises. From leaping across chasms to galloping on hay bales, my adventure is as unpredictable as it is thrilling!

2D levels and puzzles

Ruffy simply won’t slow down! As soon as the 3D world concludes, he bounds into fresh 2D stages to amass even more riches, but beware—numerous hurdles need to be changed before you can navigate safely through walls. Utilize your ingenuity and the enchanting SWAP function to modify items and uncover new routes in your enjoyable escapade!
