Kataka Ascends: The Luminous Quest is a platformer game designed with simplicity in mind. You control Kataka, a character dependent on light. In a shadowy forest, Kataka's survival hinges on maintaining a source of light. Gathering radiant plants keeps the darkness at bay, but be cautious – darkness is lethal.

The controls are basic: move left or right, jump, and double jump for higher reaches. Timing is crucial, as you'll need to replay the game to familiarize yourself with the map. This familiarity is essential for success.

I created using the Unity Engine, the game emphasizes simplicity over complexity. I focused mainly on art and ambiance to provides a distinctive experience. I used sound effects by ShapeForms to enhance the immersive atmosphere.

Your feedback is valuable as it guides the game's continued development. Enjoy the challenge, and may Kataka find its way home.

Controls : 

  • Left Arrow to move left 
  • Right Arrow to move Right 
  • Space bar to jump
  • Double tap the space bar for a Double jump
  • Esc to Pause the game


Know bug : 

The first menu button, 'Climb,' loses focus when clicked with the mouse. I recommend avoiding mouse interaction altogether and instead, simply use the space bar to initiate the game.

Really fun game!  I enjoyed discovering new mechanics as I climbed higher.

Very fun, the difficulty means that you're really rewarded the longer you play. Great atmosphere / ambiance too.
