Skillfully tap your way to the top!
Developing a game during a global pandemic made us hyper-aware of ways to enhance the player experience. During this unprecedented time where our physical connections with each other are so limited, we sought to find a way to bring people together again. We hope to have achieved that through friendly-competitive elements within Ascension. As our team of beta-testers played from various locations across the globe, they continually pushed each other to improve and find new ways to conquer the stages. We loved the “How is that time even possible?!” moments, the “Hey I found a new way to do this!” moments, the “Beat that!” moments, and we hope that you do as well.
Features:
UNIQUE STAGES:
84 handcrafted stages spread across 4 chapters. Each platform has been painstakingly placed to help you learn and perfect the movements needed to complete the stage, and to challenge you to continually improve.
NEW JOYSTICK CONTROL SYSTEM:
Ascension implements a standard on-screen mobile joystick system using a left side joystick and right side jump control.
+Popular Wireless Controller Support
GAME CENTER INTEGRATION:
With our love of Challenges and Achievements we embraced the Game Center Access Point for iOS 14+. Here you can challenge your friends and family and show off your achievements earned while conquering physics and jumping through time. Not on iOS 14+, no problem, you can access Game Center Leaderboards, Achievements, and Challenges through the in-game menu system at any time.
PLAYER PROGRESSION REWARD SYSTEM:
It’s fun to get rewarded, so we incorporated a system called Path to Ascension (PTA) where all you have to do is play the game and earn experience points (XP) to get exclusive content. What content you might ask...Avatars, Characters, Chests, and other fun loot.
IN-GAME RESOURCES:
We have added resources that can be used to improve your gameplay, ‘cause we all know you play better when you look and feel better.
IN-APP PURCHASES:
In the interest of feeding our families we have added in-app purchases for those that want to acquire every item in the game. For those that don’t; no worries the game is free and has no paywall!
REWARDED ADS:
Need more cool stuff and need it faster? You can now choose to watch an ad to double your rewards following a stage completion. You get free stuff and we can keep the lights on.
PROMO CODES:
These can be found in various locations outside of the game. After you locate them, you can use them in-game and they give you super cool, exclusive items. More Promo Codes will be added in future updates; so always be on the lookout!

Company Story:
Piqued Solutions LLC, dba Piqued Studio
Piqued Studio is a small, veteran-owned indie game dev company with a 2 person husband/wife dev team and their multi-talented partner. We formed our company in 2019 with decades of hard-core video game consumption under our belts and a desire to create something amazing.
2020 has been a difficult year with quarantine and pandemic-related job loss. We decided to allow the challenges of the year to serve as our motivation to release our first title with a reimagining of Ascension, originally released in 2011.
It’s our goal to create engaging games that excite, challenge, and entertain all. We make the games we love to play, and we hope that our passion for games is infused in every project we undertake.
