🐢 Turtle All the Way Up

Your past is your platform

Turtle All the Way Up is a vertical platformer where every failure builds the path to your future.

“It’s turtles all the way down,” they said.

But you?

You’re going up.

 A family of unfortunate turtles has fallen into a deep, deep hole. You play as one of these determined turtles, climbing ever higher through strange ruins and perilous environments. However, no matter how hard you try, there's no way you can make it out alone. Luckily,  when you fall or die, you leave behind your shell and pass on a new trait to your children. In this game, death isn't the end. It's a beginning for your next turtle. Use these old shells as stepping stones, climb higher, fail better, and build a literal tower of your past lives.

Can you make it to the top? Or will your shells pave the way for someone else?

(There's a totally intentional b-hopping mechanic if you can figure it out :D)

Your pixel art is quite nice! the voice acting is good, but volume control doesn't hurt, and I think you've really overdone the post-processing for the UI, the rest of the effects are nice, the interface isn't responsive enough, good luck!

Not sure if the leaderboard is working, but Zappah! stands at 729 (12:10)
