The Firs

This is a game jam game for the Pirate Software game jam 16. The design document has spoilers! But it can be found: here.

Game Summary and theme:

You are an android weapon sent to a remote mountain town to remove hostile sentries left over from the war. The environment isn't meant for something like you to navigate, but you're determined to make your way to the top of the mountain and destroy the sentries.

Across 6 levels, the player should become skilled in the art of grappling hook. The puzzles are solved by understanding the movement, and the relationships between objects in the world. You are able to move some of the terrain with electricity, and must place it advantageously. There is a narrative to uncover and many secrets to be found.

Controls:

• 'A'+'D' to move left and right. 

• Click and release (or use space) to launch grapple at your cursor location. The grapple will need to charge when airborne.

• 'W'+'S' to move up and down when grappled to a platform.

• 'Q' to pause
