Press Release

Breaking News,

Today is the day that the world changes forever. The chasms between Heaven, Hell -- and whatever is in between -- have been breached. Who will be able to jump across this great divide? Someone with mad hops. Join us in our spectacular release of “Ascension.” This is a 2D platformer that transcends the boundaries of terrestrial gaming. Captivating players with its unique storyline, engaging mechanics, and ethereal aesthetics, Ascension will leave you wondering which realm you reside in. 

Just like our sacred hopper, Team Ascension had its ups and downs. Would this be a 3D game? A virtual reality game? Where have all of our team members gone? Will we ever have art? All these uncertainties allowed us to focus on developing a game that had clarity and fiero regardless of visual or auditory appeal. In the end, Lexi imagined mesmerizing characters, Leah produced more art than she had in all her previous life combined, Silas fixed every bug we encountered, and Madelyn pulled it all together. We recruited a friend, Jonah, to help us with audio when our composer dropped out a week before the deadline, and we think he did a pretty slick job. 

All around, we really think this game came together. We had hoped to create a game that taught you that however sodden your soul might be, it still has the capacity to lift the spirits of others. We hope that Ascension lifts a few spirits itself. This team is grateful for the thrilling journey we endured for its creation.

xo,

Team Ascension 

P.S. Ascend!
