Mountain Tower

This is my submission to the GMTK 2024 Game Jam: "Built to Scale"! A Jump King inspired Foddian platformer.

My mind immediately went to scaling a mountain or a building, and I decided to combine the ideas into the story! The townsfolk really wanted something like a mountain to climb, but there were none around, so the Mountain Tower was Built to be scaled! In addition, I made the player be a lizard with scales for a bit of extra theming. I hope you have fun and hopefully don't get too mad :)

Feel free to comment a screenshot of your Summit Time if you manage to beat it!

After reviewing some playtests and playtesting some more myself, I realized the beginning area was a bit harder than I initially intended, so I updated the game to make it better. The quicksand feature also go revamped, and the air strafing and coyote time got increased a bit.
