6 itemsAbout the Game
Aleya's Ascent is a 2D "pixel-vania" inspired by Celeste and Hollow Knight. Explore a cosmic mountain range and find strange temples, hidden labyrinths, and ancient artifacts while overcoming tight platforming challenges, punishing fights and escape sequences to return star fragments to the night sky.
On the night of the Starfall, Aleya sets forth on a journey that takes her from the deepest caverns to the highest peaks of the Ixtian mountain range.
FEATURES
MASTER PRECISE CONTROLS
The controls are simple—run, jump, climb, and slash. Unlock abilities and power-ups from long forgotten celestials until you're gliding and dashing all over the mountain, and slashing and bashing through the dangers that inhabit it.
EXPLORE AN ANCIENT WORLD
Known to have strong connections to the cosmos, the Ixtian mountain peaks are said to pierce the sky. Many members of the tribes of the foothills attempt to reach the peaks and though they are adept climbers, few ever return. Tales are told around the lands of the strange spirits and sprites, and unnatural stone features that are found here.
"The stone here is twisted and distorted... as if it's writhing from a great, ancient discomfort..."
