Tower Ascent

Tower Ascent is a 2D platformer where knowledge is your most powerful weapon. You play as Kael, a student who must climb a sealed five-floor tower to free an imprisoned Sage and restore knowledge to the world outside. Each floor is filled with enemies, spike traps, gravity zones, and moving platforms standing between you and the exit. But raw skill alone will not get you through. Scattered throughout every floor are math puzzles that gate your most valuable powerups. Answer correctly and earn invincibility, a full heal, or a double jump to push through the next section. Get it wrong and lose points. Every decision feeds into a knowledge point system that tracks your performance across the whole run, rewarding players who fight smart and think fast. Collect one hidden painting fragment per floor, clear all five, and unlock the true ending. Upgrade your health, speed, and jump height between runs using points earned in the tower.
