I have very much enjoyed my time so far with Aura of Worlds, and am impressed with the intentional emergent gameplay that it offers, of which I know I've barely scraped the surface. My advice to you as a player would be to suspend your disbelief and try unconventional environmental tactics, the kinds of things that would never work in most games, but that often do here. For instance, the launch trailer shows that you can use your shield to surf the Colossal Worm. For now, I'm going to return to the hub world, hope that a beach ball has rendered, and pick it up and throw it amongst my rescued companions.
