I'm going with a simple premise for this one: you have an empty jar which you must find magical liquids to fill. The jar can only hold one liquid at a time and you will need to take a jar full of liquid to a target to make progress. E.g.: You may need to collect quick-grow liquid and take it to a sapling near the exit. Pouring the liquid on the sapling will make it grow and you can climb out of the level.
05/10/19 02:00 After a couple of hours I've got a simple character and walking animation with the jar and a sloshing effect for the liquid with (basic) particle effect.
05/10/19 18:00 I've got a basic platformer blocked out now. The character can move left and right, navigation triggers in the world easily switch the character's current lane to make for an interesting path whichever way you go. Character can fill her jar from the various fountains and can empty it by holding space bar.
06/10/19 16:00 Pretty much MVP game complete now. Demo gives you 6 levels, the first 4 are a designed FTUE. I'm going to do some more levels with goblins and healing, but I will also add in a sticky tar liquid which slows things down walking through and a glowing water on dark levels.
