I have spent years looking for this one flash game I got obsessed with for like a week when I was small. I never completed it, but fortunately, the page I played it in was garbage and didn't save my progress, so I played the first few stages several times. The game was a side-scrolling platformer btw. On the first stage you play as some guy or girl climbing up a hill to meet with an old person (maybe their grandfather); everything is black and white, it's snowing, and there are a bunch of hedgehogs walking around that you can throw rocks at so they'll lower their spikes and not damage you. Then you reach the grandfather's house, and he tells the character of how when he was young everything was cool and colorful and such. This leads into the second level, where you play as the grandpa in the past; everything is colorful and cool and such, and then you reach the summit and you meet the phoenix, which gives him a magic power. Here are introduced the different spells you can use; the first two are yellow (which allows you to glide) and orange (double jump); the only other I remember is blue (a sort of water-skip). He ends up meeting a wizard and then the two, along with the wizard's other apprentice and the grandpa's youth love interest girl (I know I phrased it kinda weirdly, but it's the same girl) investigate why everything is getting shadowy and gray and spooky.
That's all I remember, if anyone knows what game it is I'd be grateful for the info.
