A downloadable game for Windows

Game done in 7ish-6ish days for the 

New Year, New Skills Game Jam

In this game you will use: MagicPlank™'s to build very basic bridges in order to scale a tower made of secrets.

You will find: 6 hidden trophies across 3 rooms using a different secret hiding mechanic each.

You will experience: nothing... much... really...

It's my first attempt at a game, it's my first game jam, I'm just glad I could complete a basic version of what I set out to finish.

I did have at least 4 more secrets planned, and a hint system to make things easier. But I was running out of time and hitting dead ends. Jank is so hard to deal with as a first time developer.

Inspiration:

The wonderful secret mechanics of Dusk.

Game dev hero:

Very interesting premise for a game. It does have a eerie atmosphere to it and makes you wonder about what is hidden in the tower. The controls need a bit of work, but besides that great work in your first game!

Thank you! And yes agreed, controls need work.

The game has a fittingly creepy, surreal feeling to it - it's liminal, and I love that, and the controls' wonkiness is something I actually think added to that feeling. The experience felt intentional and the way you styled the world definitely carried character and potential. I'll be looking forward to any further projects from you.

Very kind words. Thank you very much for review.
