Today my tiny metroidvania releases on the Nintendo Switch!

Ascent DX

Take on a bite-sized but epic adventure, rendered in glorious 64x64 pixels.

Crashed on a desolate but mysterious planet you find yourself eye to eye with an ancient civilisation. Explore the planet, find powerful upgrades, and fulfill your destiny.

Classic metroidvania experience, but boiled down to its essence.

I made a game with pico8 and now it is coming to Nintendo Switch.

My pico8 metroidvania is coming to Nintendo Switch!

  • 64x64 resolution
  • classic formula distilled to its core
  • every pixel placed with intention

It is called Ascent, check it out on the Nintendo eShop for wishlists and pre-orders:

First step was to port the game to love2d (and add some more features). I'm happy to answer any questions on the process.
