With this new objective in mind, a brainwashed Fringe does as instructed and visits this other dimension. While there, Fringe uses the staff to populate the obstacle course with traps and magical creatures called Mimics. Once the course is set, Fringe returns to the Planet Platform to ambush Platformo. Fringe quietly lurks behind some birch trees and waits for Platformo to appear during a warm-up of his own. Once he does, Fringe points the staff in Platformo's direction, opening a portal to parts unknown which swallows Platformo whole.

Now with Platformo out of the way, Fringe should easily become the gold medalist by default. And with only one way to advance, Platformo must navigate his way through this deadly obstacle course to find the exit.

Gameplay

Caution! Platforming Ahead is a tribute to the art of platforming and explores the basic gameplay loops that make up a retro-inspired platformer. In Caution! Platforming Ahead, you are tasked with escaping an obstacle course built in another dimension. To do this, players must become Platformo to run, jump, and blaze throughout each of the game's 20 scenes. Doing so won't be easy, as Platformo must collect 8 keys to unlock a door at the end of each scene while avoiding classic platforming obstacles.

Platformo's Moveset

Walk

Platformo possesses many familiar abilities, and walking is one of them. You'll be spending most of your time running; however, there may be opportune times to walk instead of run.

Run

Running is the ability of Platformo's that you'll be using the most, as it allows you to smoothly navigate around obstacles with the precise amount of speed necessary.

Jump

Platformo's jump is one of the best around and can utilize a little something called jump sustain to move a little more accurately around obstacles.

P-Jump

Inspired by a fellow platformer, Platformo developed a technique he likes to call the P-Jump. Instead of relying on coyote timing, Platformo can run off ledges to enable a double jump that lets him navigate like no platformer ever has before.

Wall Jump and Wall Slide

Wall jumping is a technique that comes in handy when navigating hard-to-reach areas or simply to recover from certain death. In combination with wall-sliding, Platformo can slip through areas faster by pressing down, opening up many choices to the player.

Special

Platformo's special ability is one that releases a burst of condensed energy and allows him to blaze through scenes like nobody before him. When activated, Platformo transforms into an exclamation point vehicle, which lets him travel much faster than running. It's also useful for safer passage during tougher sections of the game.

Special Jump

While in this exclamation point state, Platformo can also jump to reach items or to reach areas he couldn't without this new jump.

Obstacles

Most obstacles in Caution! Platforming Ahead are spawned using the same mysterious yellow substance found in the cursed hourglass staff. Beware of these yellow obstacles because one touch means death for Platformo.

Mimic

Mimics are spawned in Platformo's image as a means of mockery. This is the basic Mimic and its job is to patrol the ground to impede Platformo's progress.

Mimic Air

Mimics designed for air patrol can be found scattered throughout scenes to ens
