Ascend

ASCEND — Mountain Climb Platformer (WIP)

A vertical action-platformer about climbing a mountain that doesn't want you at the top.

🏔️ The Game

Climb a gargantuan mountain across 9 levels. Jump between platforms. Fight enemies. Collect orbs. Survive falling rocks, moving platforms, strong winds, crumbling ground, and thin air. Defeat all bosses.

👥 The Companion

A messenger follows you — Two modes:

- Follow — breadcrumb trail. He's always one step behind.

- Go on ahead — he scouts forward and reports what he finds.

⚠️ Current State (WIP)

This is a functional prototype, not the final game.

What's placeholder / missing:

- Visual assets — current graphics are programmer art

- Sound effects + music — audio system is implemented, awaiting final files

- Dialogue — all text is placeholder

The final game will have hand-drawn/cute-style visuals, full audio, and refined writing. Gameplay feel and art direction may change before release.

✅ All 9 levels are playable. Save progression works. Touch + keyboard both supported.
