Ascend Again
Ascend Again is a narrative-driven 2D platformer about a young monk's attempts to escape the lofty tower he is trapped in.
Along the way, you find other prisoners of the tower. How you choose to interact with them will determine both their fate... and your own.
Developed in 9 days for the Godot Wild Game Jam #90, Ascend Again is a labor of love. Please enjoy the hand-drawn animations and heartfelt story we have put together for you today.

That's a really nicely drawn main character. Lots of good animations there.
This is a pretty elaborate platformer for a jam.
Pretty good. It's hard to make too many comments on a jam game that aren't obvious, like add a message telling you to dash through iron, etc.
Does it connect to the theme?
