It is set on a world called Geodia, where an evil Baron is seeking to TakeOverTheWorld through exerting control over the mysterious glowing mineral with immense powers called sparklite. Luckily, a hero named Ada arises, and discovers that sparklite is linked to the world's Founding Stone, whose five seals are now unbalanced, and restoring the Seals will place the world back in order, and stave off the threat from the Baron.

* TheChosenOne: It is eventually revealed that [[spoiler:Ada is the descendant of The Philosopher, the most prominent of the Founders]]
* ConcussionFrags: Some of the enemies are grenadiers, but their explosives are tiny, and their blast range is equally pitiful.
* TheCorruption: The greed of the Baron, as expressed through his powers, literally corrupts the creatures into serving him.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Get a classical defeat animation with a series of explosions all over them.
* DropTheHammer: There are swine-like Ogres who fight Ada with hammers.
* FlashOfPain: Damage that doesn't outright kill enemies is marked by them flashing white.
* FlunkyBoss: Scubert spawns in dozens of blue slimes, though they'll thankfully disappear in a few seconds. However, he is also able to summon a mook with a jetpack, who'll be much more persistent.
** The second form of the FinalBoss is almost entirely reliant on flunkies.
* GeometricMagic: The Founders' Seals, five of which must be activated by Ada to prevent the world from being unmade, appear as complex shapes drawn in bright blue on the floor.
* GogglesDoNothing: Ada is drawn with the goggles always somewhere in the middle of her hairline.
* GreenRocks: Sparklite is the glowing blue ore that fulfills this role here.
* GroundPound: The Ogre enemies can jump and slam hard into Ada's last location.
* HomingProjectile: Scorch spawns two slow-travelling missiles.
* OminousCube: A large azure rhomboid is floating in the chasm at the intersection of the five Architect's Seals. Subverted in that it is the Foundation Stone, needed to start a new world. [[spoiler:In the game's final battle,
* OneWingedAngel: After you defeat the first form of [[spoiler:Baron, he shouts ENOUGH! and chooses to show Ada "the true power of Sparklite!", and then absorbs the Founding Stone, taking up the entirety of the space where it used to float. Re-activating all five Seals restores the Stone and melts the Baron from inside from energy overload, however.]]
* PuzzleBoss: The [[spoiler:second form of Baron takes up the entire space where the Founding Stone used to be, as he had absorbed it. Instead of fighting it directly, you reactivate the five seals again, while it casts down lightning and summons mooks in an attempt to stop you.]]
* RobotBuddy: Ada is accompanied by a tiny, talking drone with a decent sense of humour.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Timbert, the pilot of the second Titan, has bright red eyes, and same goes for the following one, Scubert. Then again, they may just be wearing goggles of that color.
* ShockAndAwe: The Baron's powers are mainly about casting red lightning in various patterns.
* ShockwaveStomp: While Boris prefers to just slam itself into walls in the hope of crushing Ada, it can also slam itself into the floor to get a small shockwave if she is nearby.
** Timbert will likewise slam down the five legs of its mech one by one, or have one of them fly off after Ada and try to stomp her on its own.
** The Baron can teleport himself in mid-air, and then do a ThreePointLanding that causes lightning to radiate all around him.
* SuckingInLines: The first boss, Boris, gathers dust from all over the screen when it attempts to vacuum Ada in as well.
* SwordLines: Ada's wrench is swung in an arc marked by a blue afterglow.
* TeleportSpam: The Baron regularly teleports during his battle.
* ThisIsADrill: Scorch is a Titan with a scorpion-like mech, and its is represented by a drill.
* WorldHealingWave: Once [[spoiler:The Baron is defeated and the Foundation Stone is re-sealed, the Muck is gone, the corrupted forest creatures are back to their normal state, and the fractures in the land are brought back together.]]
* WrenchWench: Ada fights with a wrench, much like Robin of ''VideoGame/{{Iconoclasts}}'', except in TopDownView.
