UPDOG: The Ascension of 180 Sadie by Alchemic

[raw]
made by Alchemic for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

What goes up, MUST COME DOWN!

180 Sadie is trying to take her sky raft as high as it can go, but she needs to find fuel crates to keep it going up and balloons to balance!

Hop around the clouds in the sky to find balloons and fuel crates and bring them back to your sky raft to get higher and higher scores as your raft continues to ascend.

Controls:

  • WASD: Move
  • E: Pick up / throw crate
  • Left Click: Throw or recall grapple
  • Right Click: Tie balloon to raft corner

Tips:

  • You can grapple any object, including balloons and crates
  • The hand crosshair will turn green when an object is within grapple distance
  • You can carry as many balloons as you want, but only one crate at a time
  • The number of crates needed to refuel increases every time, so don't get too comfortable
  • Once the raft tips sideways, there is no recovering, so pay attention to your balloons!
