Spectral Ascension

Submission for the Github Game off 2023 game jam!

Recommended to play in fullscreen!

You wake up in a mysterious place with no idea where you are, your only way out is to go up, climb to the top and find out what lies waiting for you.

My interpretation of the theme for the jam "Scale" was to climb a tower. I wanted to make it unique and develop a game that was inspired by celeste and so i tried to come up with a mechanic that ive never really done before.

The main mechanic of the game is to click and drag to launch the character towards nodes to progress and climb the tower!

While i enjoyed making this game and the challenges that it brought, one thing i am not happy about is my animation skills, its one thing i struggled with when it came to art with complex designs, like the character. I am perfectly happy with the character design and the idle animation, but i would like to work on the other animations :( After this submission, i would definitely revisit this project and upgrade it over time as i have come to like the mechanics and the gameplay and work on my animation. 

Unfortunately, even though it was a month long game jam, i did not have enough time to implement sound or music, but i would like to add some on my revisit back to this project. I would like to use that opportunity to work on my sound design.

Hope you enjoy and i hope there arent many bugs as i only managed to fix a major bug from the start of the jam a few hours before the deadline :D
