Cruel Byte, Game Developer is pleased to announce their fifth game, Dark Ascent, to mobile platforms. It is now available to download in Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
In Dark Ascent, you control Bloomy, a tiny creature that wants to escape from limbo. The only way to escape is to hang on a balloon and float to the sky. Dangerous creatures, sharpened edges and surprise traps will try take Bloomy’s life, and your mission is to guide him in security. Bloomy is very afraid of the darkness, but has the bravest of hearts, and have the guts and courage to move on and seek liberty.
Dark Ascent was created using the Unity engine and its powerful 2D tools, and features dark and beautiful 2D graphics, inspired by the creations of Tim Burton, and the games Limbo and Badland. Also, Dark Ascent uses a realistic physics system for Bloomy, the character hanging on the balloon, so it can interact with anything that touches it!
The game includes more than 30 different challenges in an always randomized order, and features connection to Apple’s Game Center and Google Play Games, which enables you to compete every other player of the game in the world.
Bloomy, the main character, has different skins available on purchase with in-game coins, each one with a unique perspective on acclaimed pop culture characters. Also, there are more skins being developed and released in the near future.
