The Ascend
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Uh Oh!
The lovely duo Bling and Blong fell into a cave and are trying to get out! Luckily they are connected by a rope! On their way out they'll spot a lot of interesting artefacts of a long time ago.
Summary:
A casual platformer in which the players have to platform their way through challenging terrain while being connected by a suspiciously stretchy rope. Both characters have a unique ability + character size contributes to the puzzle solving.
There will be an exciting world for you and that one lucky person of your choice to explore. So, be quick and smart about your movements, work together as a team and you might just make it out of the cave!
Core Mechanics:
The characters are connected by a rope which can be resized to have more or less distance between the 2. Both characters can also pull the other towards themselves.
Bling, the small character, has a dash ability.
Blong, the big character, can anchor themselves into walls.
Wall jumps are possible at specifically wall jump locations.
