    How to play The Ascent

    1

    Steer the bounce

    Your climber bounces on its own. Steer with the arrow keys or A and D. On a phone, hold the left or right side of the game or use the arrow buttons. Going off one edge brings you back on the other.

    2

    Know your ledges

    Green ledges are solid and blue ones slide. Brown ledges crumble when you land, and purple ones fade in and out. A red spring sends you flying.

    3

    Reach the summit

    Each stage has a target altitude. Fall below the screen and the climb is over. Spiky drifters knock you back down, but landing on top of one squashes it for bonus points.

    4

    Earn 3 stars

    Reaching the summit earns 1 star. Collecting the coin target earns another, and beating the par time earns the third. Clear stage 1 to unlock Endless mode.
