BACKSTORY
The main character is GENIUS, a young and clever drummer who accidently finds a
secret passage to the world of dreams and discovers what’s behind the dream-creation
process. He finds himself in an alternative world where he discovers that dreams are
created and conducted by entities called Twinspirits, spiritual guides who allow fantasies
to flow into human minds during their sleep. Detailed info about the backstory and concept
can be found at: www.geniusrockopera.com
The episode refers to another aspect of the story: the toy caves. The toy caves are secret
underground caverns where all the toy fantasies are stored, ready to be used for the
creation of childrens’ dreams. There are many of these toys caves all around this
alternative world of dreams, and Genius will have to runs through eight of these in
the second game episode: “Into the toy caves”.
This second episode runs through eight different toy caves, each divided into 10 level
of increasing difficulty, for a grand total of 80 levels. Al eight caves also increase
in difficulty in terms of enemies and playability. Genius will need to find the right key
sequence to unlock the caverns doors and grab all of the toys.
Each level has a target toy cave, which is the biggest one, with bigger doors that
contain the final target toy that lets Genius advance to the next level. The player’s final
goal is once again to find and free the little prince, who is imprisoned in the target
toy cave of level 80, in the Dangerous vortex toy cave.
