Purrfect Ascent
Steam
We are pleased to announce the release of our demo for Purrfect Ascent. Please, give it a shot.


Alone on a foreign planet with only your kitten for comfort. Sadly, the kitten has gotten itself stuck atop a large tower. You are the only one who can rescue her. Will you take on the challenge?
- Perilously high-stakes platforming! Jump your way to the top, but be mindful that one false move and you might find yourself back where you started. - Jump and jump and jump and jump A basic jump is all you need to conquer the challenge. The character automatically jumps when moving left or right, and jump height scales directly with horizontal speed up to a maximum. - Learn as you go... Not every single jump is necessary or preferred. You'll build a memory bank of the best options with each attempt.
---------------------------------------- Inspired by classic games of the 8/16-bit era in gaming. Simple controls to learn, but difficult to master as you reach greater heights with each jump. If you love games that don't hold your hand and who challenge you to overcome through trial and error, then go ahead, attempt to climb the tower. After all, your kitten is counting on you.
