Zoe – Fun, Light, and Whimsical

  • Personality: More upbeat, trusting, and imaginative. She leans into fantasy themes.

  • Abilities:

    • Can shapeshift into a tiny pixie or a big tree-creature to move platforms.

    • Uses an electric whip for combat and movement in sci-fi levels.

    • In a certain level, she becomes a springy pig to bounce around.

Good if you want: Lighthearted vibes, flashy abilities, and fantasy-style fun.

Mio – Serious, Gritty, and Edgy

  • Personality: More nihilistic and skeptical. Prefers sci-fi and darker stories.

  • Abilities:

    • Turns into a giant monkey to throw things and solve puzzles.

    • Wields a katana for up-close combat in sci-fi stages.

    • In pig form, she farts to propel forward (yes, really).

Good if you want: Gritty themes, sword fights, and a darker tone.

Who’s Better or Easier?

Neither is better or easier. Both Zoe and Mio have equal roles, and their unique abilities are balanced and complementary. The game is designed so both characters are fun, and you’ll get to experience different gameplay no matter who you pick.

Can You Switch Characters Later?

Not mid-game, but:

  • Start a new playthrough to try the other character.

  • If playing locally, just swap controllers between levels.

Final Blurb

Pick the one whose style or personality fits you best. Zoe is playful; Mio is serious. Both are awesome, and neither choice will make the game harder or easier. No wrong answers — just dive in and have fun.
