You play as a little insect lad in Cocoon, picking up differently coloured balls on your back and chucking them about to solve puzzles. Surprise! The balls are actually worlds you can enter. This raises the heady philosophical problem of infinite regress, a.k.a. “It’s turtles all the way down”. I’m just a games journalist, so I don’t really have a solution for that I’m afraid, but now you know where the game’s cocoon moniker comes from anyway. Each world orb has an ability tied to it, which you can then use in other worlds to find hidden areas or fire things to push switches, for example.
