Prototype - Ascent Protocol

About the Game

Ascent Protocol is a fast-paced vertical roguelike action platformer prototype focused on movement and momentum.

Climb upward while a deadly hazard rises from below. Jump between platforms, avoid traps, defeat enemies, and use your dash to maintain height and stay alive.

This prototype is intended to test the core gameplay loop and movement mechanics.
