The world of Oliver&Spike explained in terms

0 Comment

We know, Oliver&Spike: Dimension Jumpers, features quite complex gameplay mechanics which can easily confuse if you are new to the World of our heroes.
Here are some of the most used terms explained:

CLUSTER
A collection of dimensions that are connected to each other

CLUSTER RIG
A cluster rig is machine designed by the alchemist Chyme derived from the schematics of a cluster teleporter. Unlike a teleporter, which opens a path between clusters, a rig operates like a big vacuum-cleaner, sucking up balance energy within the dimension it is located in. Since the area around the Cluster Rig is lacking balance energy, all living creatures that gets to close are transformed into Mudimos.

CLUSTER TELEPORTER
A machine that lets you teleport to another dimension cluster.

DIMENSIONS
Different versions of the same world within a cluster

DIMENSION ENERGY
Dimension energy manifests in the form of crystals. Each crystal gives you one dimension jump. The color of the crystal are linked to the dimension it leads to. (i.e White Balance Crystals, Black Chaos Crystals, Colored Energy Crystal)

DIMENSION GUARDIANS
A member of The Order – a dimension jumper who has dedicated his or her life to maintaining the balance and order.

DIMENSION JUMPER
Creatures who live in a certain dimension only exist in that particular location because their frequency is in tune with that specific dimension. Some selected individuals (or a specific species) have the power to alter their frequency with the help of Dimensional Energy. Since all the dimensions in a Dimension Cluster occupy the same space, they can ‘travel’ between the parallel universes at will by altering their own frequency.

DIMENSION JUMPING
The ability to jump between parallel universes (clusters).

MULTIVERSE
The overarching connection of universes (clusters) and their parallels (dimensions).

GLOWGHOST
Glowghosts live in the space of the Multiverse. Their main purpose is to help keep the balance, much like the Dimension Jumpers, but on a much lower scale. Much like bacteria, they feed on balance and chaos energy. Glowghost’s seek out imbalances between the dimensions. They also seek out Dimension Jumpers and can enable them to dimension jump without dimension energy crystals.

MODIMO
A creature that has been in contact with pure chaos energy, and therefore mutated to a hideous freak of nature. These creatures often guard areas of interest to Nox. Modimos are multi-dimensional, so you can’t simply get past them by jumping to another dimension.

MULTI-DIMENSIONAL
Multi-dimensional object exist in all the dimensions (in a cluster) at the same time. This means that if you move it in one dimension, it also moves in the other dimensions.

TEAR
A hole, either natural or created, between two or more dimensions

THE ORDER
A sect of Dimension Jumpers who are dedicated to upholding balance and order within the multiverse.

WABAS
One eyed creatures that look like rabbits. They live in the dimension of Firma.

XINIS

A slime like creature, bred by the alchemist Chyme. The Xini’s are parasites who can take control of other living creatures. Chime uses the Xinis to take control of a dimension by infecting the ruling people first. Infected people start to work on setting up a Cluster Rig, in order to transfer that Dimensions energy back to Nox.
