Our take on Alien Egg: Ascent
The game makes upward movement the central structure of its action-adventure: players guide an alien egg from an abandoned laboratory toward space using jumps, rolls, and slides. Its premise replaces a human adventurer with a small creature trying to return home.
What is Alien Egg: Ascent?
Alien Egg: Ascent follows an alien egg waking from hibernation in an abandoned laboratory.
Driven to return to its homeworld, the egg must escape the lab and jump toward space through surreal alien environments. Movement centers on jumping, rolling, and sliding. To jump, click and drag to set its power and direction; falls may be costly, so each move calls for care. The journey follows the egg's attempt to leave the lab, reach space, and find a way back home.
