Orb Ascend

Launch a teleport orb, aim with precision, and climb upward through strange cave to reach the black hole above.

In Orb Ascend, you play as a strange being trying to reach the top of a vertical cave. Use a magical orb to teleport across platforms. Hold Z to charge and adjust the angle of your shot — the longer you hold, the higher the angle climbs, but go too far and it starts to drop! Reach the black hole to complete each level.

Controls:

• Arrow Keys: Move left and right
• Hold Z: – Hold to aim the orb (angle increases with time, then resets downward)
• Release Z: – Throw the orb and teleport to its position

Features:

• 2D vertical platformer made in PICO-8
• Innovative teleportation orb mechanic
• Angle-based shooting using a single button (Z)
• Precision and timing challenges
• Minimalist pixel art aesthetic
