Playing in the Shade | Rayman Legends | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary

Rayman Legends is a visually stunning and joyfully energetic 2D platformer, a true gem that builds upon the foundations of its predecessor, Rayman Origins. This 2013 release from Ubisoft Montpellier masterfully blends fluid, responsive gameplay with an artistic vision that is second to none. The game’s narrative sees our heroes, Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies, awakened from a century-long nap to find their world overrun by nightmares. It’s a charming premise that sets the stage for an adventure across a vibrant tapestry of fantastical worlds, each accessed through enchanting paintings. Within this delightful collection of realms, "Playing in the Shade" stands out as a particularly memorable experience. This level is a brilliant throwback, originating from the world of "Ticklish Temples" in *Rayman Origins* and thoughtfully integrated into *Rayman Legends* as part of the "Jibberish Jungle" in its "Back to Origins" mode. The gameplay in "Playing in the Shade" is defined by a thrilling, high-speed chase. Players are thrust into a frantic pursuit of a "Tricky Treasure," a sentient chest that makes a daring escape. The objective is to keep pace with this elusive prize until it reaches an impasse, allowing for its capture and the discovery of its riches, which in *Rayman Legends* means rescuing trapped Teensies. What immediately captures the player's attention in "Playing in the Shade" is its distinctive artistic direction. The entire foreground, encompassing Rayman, the platforms, and the numerous hazards, is rendered in stark silhouette. This bold blackness contrasts beautifully with a softly hazy, blue-tinged background adorned with the ghostly outlines of strange, mushroom-like flora. This stylistic choice not only lends the level a unique atmosphere but also introduces an engaging layer of challenge. Players must rely on their understanding of shapes and outlines to accurately judge jumps and navigate the treacherous terrain, all while a lively "getaway bluegrass" soundtrack propels the action forward. The platforms themselves are designed to be fleeting, sinking soon after being touched, which necessitates a relentless forward momentum. Adding to the intensity are spiky, spherical flowers that serve as the primary obstacles. Fortunately, players can often utilize Swingmen to execute graceful aerial maneuvers, helping them maintain their lead in this exhilarating dash through the shadows.
