We left level 4 of Nomori, Recursion, knowing how to use multiple portals.
In Level 5, Slime Bun Size, we'll learn how a portal affects the gravity of the person travelling through the portal, but nothing else!
At the start of this level, we see everything.
The gate (8) is 'on the wall', which indicates we only have to travel through a portal once.
There are two chasms we need to cross: the grey one on this floor (2) and the brownish one once we've travelled through the portal (3).
Full overview of level 5, Slime Bun Size, in Nomori with steps.
So, to start with the first hurdle of this level in Nomori: spawn a slimebun (1). Even though this slimebun is substantially bigger than the one in previous levels, we can still use telekinesis to move it around.
Grab it and place it between the two stone parts of the would-be bridge to the left (2).
You can now walk up the stairs, jump over to the slimebun and then jump off on the other side.
Once you reach the other side, turn around and grab the slimebun. Using telekinesis, lift the slimebun up on the floor you are standing on, then place it in between the two parts of the brownish looking divide (3).
Walk back and jump through the portal (4). You will come out above you (5).
Walk down the stairs, then over the echo stone. Go up the other stairs (6) and jump across the slimebun (3).
Do you notice something funny about the slimebun? No?
Nomori Slimebuns look like they're half filled with water, with some leaves and other naturesk looking shapes floating inside it.
Have a look at this side by side comparison. On the left, the cube before you walk through the portal. On the right, the cube after you walk through the portal.
Side by side comparison of slimebun before and after crossing through a portal. See the difference in the water in its belly?
While you are now standing on 'new ground' (turned 90 degrees), the slimebun did not turn. Therefor, their body is still firmly rooted on the ground you used to walk on.
An important clue from the gameplay is that you can judge what the slimebuns gravitational down is by looking at the position of the water in his belly.
That also means that if you grab a slimebun with telekinesis and let go at the wrong moment, the slimebun will fall 'down' into the wall. Or mid air.
To free the gate from the goo and finish this level of Nomori, turn around and use Telekinesis one more time on the slimebun.
Letting go of a slimebun in Nomori might lead to losing the slimebun to twisted gravity.
Lift it up and carry it towards the gate (8). DON'T LET GO. The slimebun will suck itself into the gate and suck up all the goo, allowing you to jump through.
