In this second level, titled 'Gate', a couple of new concepts are introduced to the Nomori game play.
It continues where the first level, 'Portals' left us: landing from a jump through the portal with only 1 way available to move forward.
The first level in Nomori, Portals, was pretty easy. You couldn't do much wrong.
From this second level, you will drop of ledges and... well, not die. It's a beautiful animation actually, so you should try it at least once.
In any case, Echo Stones act as a respawn point. If you do end up jumping off a cliff, you'll respawn back at the last Echo Stone you passed.
The gates leading to the next level are not always available to jump through. Some of them are sealed with some kind of purple goo.
Several of the key concepts of Nomori gameplay: Echo Stone, Portal, Gate and a Slimebun spawner.
To unlock the gate, you need to place a Slimebun in the gate. The slimebun will absorb all the goo, leaving the gate available to jump through.
Slimebuns are spawned by nudging a Slimekeeper. To do this, focus the camera on the Slimekeeper and press E on your keyboard.
Beating this level is still pretty easy.
Walk straight ahead, across the Echo Stone and jump through the Portal.
Turn right, go past the Echo Stone and follow the path and stairs up the hill.
Nudge the Slimekeeper (keyboard E) to spawn a Slimebun. This will trigger a cut scene, showing an orange square blob growing out of a flower and dropping down the gate. This will free the gate of goo.
Continue up the path. It seems like a dead end, but you can jump off the platform straight through the portal down below.
Final jump in 'Gate', bringing you back to the now available gate.
You'll end up next to the gate, which is now available to jump through.
This is the end of level 2 and you will be transported to the start of level 3: SlimeBun!
So far, nothing too exciting yet.
But trust me, there are plenty of levels to come which will blow your mind.
Onwards, buttercup!
