  Content Update & Open Playtesting

  Hey everyone!I’ve just published a new update and made a playtest version publicly available What’s new?All 5 Ascensions are now playableAdded Brittle Holds as a new hazardAdded Rocket Launchers as a new hazardThe goblin’s body now tries to rotate uprightAdded new Secrets & ShortcutsTweaked several hazardsAdded Steam Achievements (full version/game key only)Added Steam Cloud SavesOpen PlaytestOpen PlaytestThe core game is now pretty much complete, and all 5 Ascensions are playable. It is available through Open Playtest for free and can be started immediately.The main thing I’d like to see now is how the difficulty holds up with players. Ascension 5 in particular is intended to be extremely difficult. My original goal was for it to be challenging enough that only around 5% of players would complete it. I’m currently failing to beat it myself, so it seems to be heading in the right direction.If you play, I’m particularly interested in feedback on how the following feel:Difficulty scaling across the 5 AscensionsWhether the new hazards, shortcuts, and secrets make replaying worthwhileWhether the difficulty feels fair and rewardingHow far you can getEnjoy, and thanks for Playing!

Also, the post-processing looks sweeeet, if I may say soPerformance improvements: Yay, finally playable on your fridgeDemo Steam page: I decided to create a separate Steam page for the demo, so everyone can publicly share their high praise for this life-changing experience :)Are you into bullet points? Then you are in the right place! Check out the roadmap for the full game.RoadmapAscension System (NG+)10 Ascension Levels, each unlocked by completing the previous difficultyThe game begins accessible, with fewer hazards and a limited key set (ASDFJKL;).
