Platform Level Designs
Platforms were designed to complement the change in theme occurring at every new level. These platforms reflect the mythology of the game, corresponding to 6 of the 9 Norse worlds foretold in the poetic eddas.
There are 9 worlds strung together by the branches of the ash tree, Yggdrasil (Heritage Daily, 2018). These are:
- Asgard
- Alfheim
- Muspelheim
- Vanaheim
- Niflheim
- Nidavellir
- Hel
- Jotunheimr
- Midgard (Earth)
The 9 Norse worlds (Heritage Daily, 2018)
Platforms were designed for six of these worlds: Asgard, Alfheim, Nidavellir, Hel, Jotunheimr, and Earth. The intention is to give an impression that the main character, Odin, is running from fire giant Surtr across these various realms, which will cycle through with every level change.
