Ascend is a vertical wave runner. You climb automatically and you are always

turning — there is no way to fly straight. Tap or hold to switch between banking

left and right, and thread the gaps.

CONTROLS

Left shift or a  — bank left

Right shift or d— bank right

Z — place a checkpoint (tap twice quickly to remove the last one)

R — restart the level

Escape — pause

All keys can be rebound in Settings.

MAKE YOUR OWN LEVELS

The Create menu is a level editor. Click to place blocks, drag to move them,

double-click to turn them 90 degrees or drag the ring handle to set any angle.

Save it, then press Get code on the Play screen to copy a level code and send it

to anyone. They paste it into Community maps and play it.

EARLY BUILD

One level is finished so far — the other five slots are placeholders. Feedback on

the difficulty is especially welcome, since the level was tuned with very little

playtesting.

Install instructions

Download ascend-windows.zip and extract the whole folder, then run Ascend.exe.

Keep all the files together — the .exe will not start on its own.

Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because the build is not code-signed.

Choose "More info" then "Run anyway".

You do not need the download to play — the browser version above is the same game.
