Here's our Power of Three 2009 submission. Get ready to earn yourself some medals!

Master the worlds of Nature, Technology and the Supernatural and discover the meaning of the Paradox in this huge puzzle platformer. Watch out for roaming demons and mech bugs while you navigate the dynamic levels and uncover the purpose of the mysterious Changers. Try to figure out why things are never quite what you remember them being and use this knowledge to make your way through the world and confront the shadowy figure that keeps you from unlocking your full potential. Sponsored by Newgrounds.com and created by EntropicOrder.net, Zeebarf.com and Diverge.ws.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Arrows or WASD to move, Up/W to jump, Down/S to use Changers or lower the camera. Avoid running into enemies or falling into bottomless pits. Find the trophy in each level to advance to the next. Wait a moment next to keys, doors or bridges for a hint on how to proceed. Ghosted keys cannot be picked up until you use the required Changer. Try completing levels faster for special medals. Getting hurt adds 10 seconds to the clock so watch out!

TIPS:
- The game is very tall, so press F11 to make your browser full-screen if the top or bottom is cutoff for you.
- The game's dynamic platforming engine may require you to lower the quality setting to improve performance on slower computers. Press the Q in the lower left corner to toggle between high, medium and low quality.
- Most earned medals will appear once you return to the map.
- Your progress will be saved in a Flash cookie so you can return to the site where you played the game before and pick up where you left off.

UPDATES:
- 1/25/10 - There seems to be a problem with FireFox crashing with the latest version, though it works fine on IE. I'm looking into the problem and will release an update as soon as it's fixed.
- 1/8/10 - Version 1.41 fixes a problem that prevented players without a soundcard from being able to get passed the instructions or intro screens. Thanks goes to VengfuL for taking a couple hours out of his day to help me track this one down! Couldn't have done it without you! FYI to Flash developers, Sound.play() returns null if there's no sound card. :)
- 1/7/10 - Version 1.32 is live and should fix the following: Intermittently the player will fall through the floor on some computers but not others.

"cool"

date: August 8, 2010

I like the fact about switching beetween different characters unlocking different posibilities. Still, it has been used a lot of times.

I think you need more levels. Or even harder ones because the game seems a bit to simple, yet.

"Fun, Fun, and Done!"

The game is fun, but if you complete it in the 19 minutes (sadly, I did it, but I was logged out), it's completed really fast. The problem is the first time I played, I breezed through it quickly. It's very easy to unlock every achievement, which I did, but as I said before, I was logged out.

"Not bad not good"

date: July 20, 2010

The game is not too bad. Nice music to match the different stages of the human. From future to past and present. What the game is lacking is action. Too boring if your just dodging the enemy and your life always refills. It's a good game if you want to kill time and not have fun. If you really want to make it interesting, add some fighting skills, make it more flashy, and make the monsters attack back. The music could use a better action sound than a puzzling tune that would make people want to fall asleep or tune up some "The Used" or Newgrounds audio portal.

"I Appreciate"

date: July 18, 2010

The great detail involved in this game and everything else. I did not however enjoy this game but maybe it's because it's just not my type game.
