A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Climb your way to the top of the tower in this vertical platformer roguelike! Take up the helm of Dream Knight, and use your sword to pogo off enemies and obstacles as you make your ascent. Discover powerful items that will greatly aid you in your quest, and unlock permanent upgrades as well as cosmetics between runs. No two attempts up the tower will be the same, with a random selection of hand-crafted levels, side areas, and items.

I'm excited to hear what people think, if you'd like to get more updates on the state of the project please consider joining the Discord:

Saw Reto played your game, so I checked it out! It’s really solid so far. Definitely think it’d be more enjoyable if the player hitbox were smaller, right now I think it’s bigger than the sprite? Often getting hit by things that visually aren’t touching, getting sucked into pipes from what feels like far away, stuck wall jumping when I’m not meaning to, etc..

It's a really good game, kinda starting to speedrun it. Oh! btw I found something interesting I could do.

Hey thanks so much, super happy to hear you like it! Oo would love to hear what you found.

Sure, but can you not fix it?, It's really fun to use, and good for speedrunning.

I have a feeling I know the exploit you're talking about and if so definitely not gonna remove it, way too fun.

you went to RIT right? i'm considering going there. how did you like it?

Sure did! Overall I thought it was pretty great, weather is awful though and the campus definitely lacks a lot of diversity. I learned a lot during my time in the game design program, although some classes werecertainly a little better/more useful than others. What are you looking to major in? Also if you’d like to have a larger conversation about this my discord is supercitrus, would love to answer any questions you have!

By the way, there are some possible bugs with the layering stuff, for example when in the lobby you use the wax wings when in front of the shop, the wings are actually behind the shop for some reason. Maybe it's because there's a limited number of layers coded, but just thought you should know.

Hey thanks for the heads up, tbh I noticed that a few weeks ago and just haven't gotten around to fixing it, definitely not a technical limitation haha. Gonna address it before the final release.

Played it during the SAGE 2023, it's really awesome. The controls are really nice, the mechanics and level design are great, the art is cute and i love the musics. I love it!

Thanks so much for playing, so glad to hear you liked the game!

Really cool game!  The controls are nice and responsive and is super fun to play.  Also that music is great!  Did you make it yourself?

Thanks so much, so glad to hear you liked the game and the music! Nope, the music was done by my wonderful composer maekshift.

Thank you for this! I had a lot of fun playing it! 
I didn't get a good glance of how that jumper-switching mechanic works. Like what does it mean when a jumper becomes transparent? I still can pogo-jump on it, so what's the difference? And sometimes it was just impossible to pogo a jumper which is not transparent. I was a bit frustrated at those moments

Hey glad you liked it! That sounds like a bug, if the bumper is transparent you shouldn't be able to touch it and vice versa, sorry you ran into issues. I'll look into fixing that next patch.

I played browser version
