Description
N.B.: Percentages on this page ignore the prologue.
- Project Novaform begins with a skippable prologue. Pressing player two parries.
- 0-12%: The player has five lives, and dying normally sets the life counter to 0. The level starts with either a wall or a player with a knife, which needs to be parried; otherwise, the player loses a life. Then, the player has to jump through a randomised segment where they can become a swing, a ship, a robot, or stay a cube. This part has many combinations. The level continues with the player jumping, hitting orbs, and parrying things in the cube game-mode.
- 12-24%: The player parries a lever that moves an obstacle up. Multiple parts of this section can include having a wave part where the player holds a blue orb, a UFO section where they hit a custom orb and flaps, a cube section where they hit some orbs and goes on a slope, a ship part where they must manoeuvre through three spikes, a spider where they flip twice and hits a pink orb in a blue gravity portal, a cube part where they parry, and some others. This section contains a few more levers the player must parry.
- 24-49%: The player gets their five lives due to a player holding a 'heal' substance. The player becomes a triple-speed ship, and the Aerion Mk-1 boss tries to kill them with missiles and attacks that can be parried. Being affected by these attacks makes the player lose a life. There may be a short break from the ship section, where the player becomes a cube or a robot for a bit.
- 49-62%: This part is not randomized. The player becomes a double-speed cube, holds two dash orbs, becomes a ball, flips twice and hits a green orb, flips three times, and hits a pink and a yellow orb. The player becomes a cube and parries a wall. The player holds a dash orb, becomes a ball again, flips twice and hits a green orb again, flips three times again, and hits a yellow orb and a green orb. The player then becomes a triple-speed ship and is given the option to heal by another cube.
- 62-100%: The level continues with the player fighting the boss 'Corrupted Bli'. This fight contains attacks such as the boss going through the player, which will make the player lose a life if not parried, an attack where multiple lasers target the player when they are a ship, an attack where one laser attacks the player at a time in ship, an attack where circles attack the player, an attack where spikes cover the ground, which can be parried, and some potential other attacks. The boss ends at 85%, and the end screen appears after a cutscene.
