MechAscender

MECHASCENDER. For GMTK 2024.

"Hold on to ledges and just keep jumping. Watch out for battery drain. Don't fall. Don't get hit by Rockets." Thanks for playing!

-----------------------------------------------------

Play in one test level followed by one Hardcade level in this slap-dashed arcade classic that never was!

CONTROLS:

[LEFT Arrow] and [RIGHT Arrow] Keys to shimmy left and right on a ledge.

HOLD the SPACEBAR to charge your jump. RELEASE to execute your JUMP. 

You can move left and right mid-air.

CAREFUL: Holding the SPACEBAR drains BATTERY LIFE faster, and you will need to collect batteries to maintain power.

Rocket Cameras shoot ROCKETS that will hurt you. TEN HITS and you explode.

Falling off the lowest ledge or off the screen sides will explode you as well!

YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE.

-----------------------------------------------------

Bare bones UI elements that are turned off: Scoring, scaling progress, and power-ups (The FUN STUFF) did not make it into the game in time. 

-----------------------------------------------------

Planned POST JAM UPDATES for this micro-game:

1. Scoring, UI additions, Power-Ups, 2Player mode.
2. Unused Obstacles incorporation (Spiderbots, Spikes, Lasers, Collapsing Ledges)
3. Replace placeholder Sounds and Music.
4. Controller support.
5. Full level designs and ART update.
