What is Ascending Inferno?

This single-player 2.5D precision platformer follows Dani and her dead brother Vincent’s ball-shaped soul as they try to escape Hell. You climb nine layers with distinct mechanics, jumping between platforms while dribbling, kicking, and heading Vincent upward. Optional Checkpoint Mode resets you to activated checkpoints when you fall below them.
