    It would be good if she can adopt Animal ability!
    For example she meet with butterfly goddess and she can use butterfly ability for some times (and then the ability cool down for minutes) and so on.
    Probably like that old game of Junglebook :)

    My first idea from the oldies

    Maybe she can give some to specific animals or insects some candys to eat (throw out the candies into their mouths), so they fall sleep and she dress with they, you known like Little Nemo The Dream Master of NES. So, she can fall sleep a frog, she dress with him and she can swim and jump, in whater she can give some candy to a fish and dress with him and swim faster and straight. Or a gorilla to gain strength and more life points.

    I hope there will be a dynamic background where you can see animals flying and walking around. I think that would be nice.

    Thank you for your suggestion, but it has similarities to suggestion of jetveetlev.
    About the reward we can only send through Paypal because iTunes gift card is limited to each country.

    @iANiMeX
    Very unique suggestion thank you.

    You have the basic premise of defying the laws of nature, so there's are plenty of ideas that you can use that would make for interesting puzzles. The first that comes to mind using plants, is time-lapse. You know the effect where video footage is sped up of a plant growing and eventually blooming? Your protagonist could influence the growth speed of plants, to change how they interact with the area around her. For example, a mushroom sits on the ground next to a large wall, but if she uses this ability to rapidly grow it, it becomes a large, bouncy mushroom that could send her over the wall.

    Other nature related themes and mechanics could be to control plants to a degree. Your protagonist might be able to persuade plants to move in certain directions, such as causing vines to shift into a ladder pattern to climb up an obstacle, or a bridge pattern to go over a gap. This is easily done narratively by having her "influence" the plants (and nature) in a non-verbal way. She touches them, or motions to them, and they move. Maybe she has them wrap around her body, and move her from one place to another. You have possibilities here.

    Usually, settings like this are based heavily around the idea of wonder and exploration. Your design and narrative would likely do well if it is highly influenced by strange and exciting creatures, and the gameplay is structured around adventure and discovery.

    And this is just going off the concept art involving that thick vegetation. Defying nature,of course, has many other possibilities:
    - Defying or flipping gravity.
    - Changing water levels (rising or falling)
    - Communicating with nature (narrative)
    - Changing the physics of an object (making something soft, hard, bouncy, floaty, etc.)
    - Producing or dispelling light (small, faerie-like lights, or even full day/night cycle transitions)
    - Changing how the world interacts with the protagonist during both day and night (day is safe, night is dangerous)

    I also really love the idea of the world being split into two dimensions. Maybe one of the dimensions is where everything is safe and harmonious, and the other is a twisted version of the same place. Everything has changed for the worse, but the protagonist needs to journey through it in order to save the safe half from becoming the same way.

    Best of luck with your game. It sounds interesting. ;)
