Way of Rhea is releasing in 2 days!

This blog series walks through some of the mechanics featured in the game. Be warned: mild spoilers ahead! This post covers The Professor's Biome.

The professor is kind of a jerk.

This area introduces The Professor, and a new way to change colors using staves.

Staves

Normally, to change color, you'd need an orb and a lamp.

In this biome you can *instantly* change color by dropping your staff, and picking up a staff that's a different color. Unlike orbs, staves are infinitely reusable, so you can switch back and forth as much as you like--provided you're able to return to where you left the original staff!

Colorless

You can also drop your staff without picking up a new one, and as a result have no color. This couldn't possibly be useful...or could it?

With great power...

Staves are, in a sense, more powerful than orbs:

1. They can be reused

2. You can change color at any location you're able to get a staff to, not just at lamps

As a result of all this power, puzzles have a lot more possible solutions to explore--but typically still only one solution that works, making these puzzles a bit more difficult.

Don't forget to wishlist Way of Rhea on Steam! I'll see you tomorrow in *The End Game*, where the real challenge begins...

Cheers, Mason
