The Waking

Hey — I made a small climbing game. It's free, it runs in your browser, and it takes about half an hour.

You start on a road in the rain. The road ends at a foot. The mountain, it turns out, is asleep.

Nothing in it can kill you. If you fall you just lose height, which is annoying, but that's all it is.

Controls

• A / D or the arrow keys — walk
• Space or K — jump. Hold it while you're in the air and your cloak opens into a glide.
• Fall against a wall and you'll slide down it. Jump again to kick off.
• If you find a rising column of dust, stand in it and see what happens.

There are seven glowing stones hidden on the way up. Each one you pick up adds another instrument to the music. They're completely optional and I'm not going to tell you where they are.

Heads up: it's a chunky first load, so give it a few seconds before you decide it's broken.

Made in Godot. There isn't a single image or sound file in the project — the sprites are text in a script and the music is a synthesiser running while you play. Still not sure whether that was clever or just stubborn.

Have fun with it. If you make it to the top, I'd like to hear about it.
