About Origin
Origin is a crisp 2D platformer that combines tight controls with increasingly clever level design. You navigate a character through a series of obstacle-laden stages, collecting black orbs scattered throughout each level to unlock the exit door. As you advance, new movement abilities open up, including a double jump that fundamentally changes how you approach verticality and opens paths that were previously unreachable. The game has a clean, minimal aesthetic that keeps the focus on movement and precision, delivering the kind of satisfying platforming that feels fair even when it is difficult.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move left and right and to jump. Collect all the black orbs in a level to unlock the exit door and advance to the next stage. In later levels, you gain the ability to double jump by pressing the jump key twice in quick succession. Avoid hazards and falling off platforms, as mistakes will return you to the start of the level.
Tips & Tricks for Origin
- Scan the full level from your starting position before moving, as knowing where all the orbs are helps you plan the most efficient collection route.
- Save your double jump for when you actually need extra height rather than using it as your first jump on every platform.
- Take difficult sections slowly on your first attempt to map out the hazard timing before committing to a faster run-through.
