The world of the Blue Platform is split up into platforms rising up out of the darkness that is the ground, where no light penetrates. There are 9 platforms. Each is a different colour, and there are nine in all. In ascending order of importance they are: Black, White, Grey, Brown, Green, Yellow, Purple, Red and Blue. Each Platform is ruled over by a mage who is named after their platforms colour (ie: Black Mage, White Mage, etc). Each mage has different magic, based on their colour. The mages protect against the dark of the surface world using their magic to hold it off, but on day, the blue mage, the most powerful mage fails and the darkness infects his platform. This darkness infects all and changes them into monsters of the dark. One by one the platforms fall until it begins to encroach on the smallest platform, the weakest, the Black platform. Your task as the Black Mage is to protect your platform, but since you don't have the strength anymore you must journey to the next platform, the White platform and ask the White Mage for help. You do not know yet that the other platforms have fallen, but they have. Each time you, a living mage steps on a platform you gain the magic of the fallen mage. You must defeat the darkness and free all the platforms by defeating all their former protectors, and maybe even the ruler of the darkness himself.
