Extraordinary game. I got stuck trying to figure out what to do when I realised I couldn't reach to the stones on the wall. But then I found my way eventually after trying everything and anything possible
I just played the DX version over on Steam, and wanted to stop by and say how great this is. You packed so much - atmosphere, multiple biomes, mystery and some great exploring/platforming into such a tiny game. I'm in awe of what you manged in 64x64 pixels.
Can you make it downloadable for mobile as it works very well on mobile as one of those hand held game systems like game boy color as that's how it feels when playing it on mobile
Great game! I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but you can dash while diving, jump while dashing on the ground and dive while dashing in the air. After dashing while diving, you still can't move horizontally until your dash ends, and a similar thing happens when you dive while dashing, but you start falling during the dash. The most interesting part is what happens when you jump while dashing on the ground. Usually, it results in a longer jump where you get stopped after the dash ends (kind of like the super in Celeste, if you know that game), but when you jump during coyote time, you start moving upwards at a 45 degree angle until the dash ends (baisically a diagonal dash). In both cases the distance is practically the same as when dashing, but the coyote time diagonal dash thing can be used in the blue section to access a room with an 8 made out of red blocks.

The player character before getting a power-up and after collecting all of them:

Would love a p8.png version.
It's on splore as well so you should be able to grab it!
Perfect game,please creat one version to android!!
OOB (out of bounds) ledge grab :P
After that, you can climb up there and go to the previous room, the player is above the ceiling here and can walk OOB lol
Great game btw :D

Excellent game! Real fun, intriguing story, and great music. Can I find the game's soundtrack anywhere? I liked the song.
Thanks! The soundtrack is here: https://soundcloud.com/vavsbargainbin/ascent

I'll look into it!
I got 3:50 but I died so I think 3:40 ish is possible.
all spirits or any%
cuz all spirits in 3:40 seems unlikely
all spirits
I GOT 3:43 ALL SPIRITS WITH A DEATH SO IT IS POSSIBLE! (I didnt know about some skips before my last reply)
You can do it!
Really cool PICO8 cart! Great visual and (flashback?) mood. Really hope I can finish this game at some point :)
Thanks! You can do it!
5:14 8/8
4:46 now :)
4:37 now idk if sub 4:30 is possible but imma try
4:30 with one (unnessesary) death so its possible
Keep it up!
4:18!!!!
Phenomenal game

Great game! I was having a lot of fun and then I got soft locked in the wind! Definitely gonna replay it to find everything!
My favorite Pico-8 game. Highly recommended.
