About this game
Skyward Descent is not the next big thing. It's a game you pick up, play for a while, then put down to go about your day. Then tomorrow, you'll be looking for something to do and go "that Skybound Ascension game was actually pretty good" so you pick it up, play it, and before you know it it's your new "go to" game.
Item Synergies - After each round you get to choose between 3 items. It's up to you to discover what combinations work well together and break the run in half!
Jet - Both a means of fight and flight, the jet is a way to flow through the sky elegantly dodging enemies whilst also setting them on fire. Ouch.
Bosses - They're very tough.
Challenge Runs - Built a tier list for the items? Now throw it out the window. The various challenges force you to completely re-evaluate the items as you know them, you'll need to develop new strategies to stand a chance.

MARINE is out!
Hey all!My latest game Marine is out. It's a Plants Vs Zombies inspired roguelike. The big twist is items can change how the run works. Combine with branching unit upgrades, every strategy feels like your own!It's been years since I released Skyward Descent, and though I still have a fondness for the game, I've improved dramatically since then as a developer. I hope everyone checks out marine!Read full article on Community Announcements (.)AnnouncementsOfficial
Fairly significant revamp to first area!
To anyone playing the pre-release version, the first area has received a fairly significant revamp. A couple of new enemy types and a new boss. In addition, one challenge has now been replaced with a more exiting one, as well as some important fixes/balances. Lastly, events can now randomly occur in each area to spice things up! Enjoy.Read full article on Community Announcements (.)
