Original Steam description

Mechanics Overview
-Grapple-hook and shotgun-blast your way up a gigantic tower on a dying planet that wants to see you fall and break. Explore the unforgiving layers and solve puzzles -- or take shortcuts by exploiting push-n'-pull physics. 


Using the blast recoil of an impulse device to push yourself and a grappling hook to pull yourself around harsh obstacles and unique puzzles, master a one-of-a-kind movement system that pushes the limits of player creativity and natural, fluid momentum to conquer a colossal tower that was made to break you. 


Hardcore Difficulty
Mistakes are not allowed in this classic foddian experience. Lose your footing, and you risk losing your progress. A lot of it. Additional optional ‘easy mode’ allows regular checkpoints to offer a more forgiving experience. 



Play at your Pace
Speedrun and break records by combining well-timed grapples and shotgun blasts at the perfect angles, sliding under and jumping over everything the tower throws at you.


Level Design

Conquer interesting, unique puzzles and dynamic obstacles in multiple unique, deadly biomes where the smallest misstep can cause a major loss of progress.

50% of my developer profits after Steam's platform percentage fees will be dedicated to needy families in Gaza, Palestine, including medical support and food packs. Donation receipts will be posted on social media.
