Zen Ascent is a short indie game experience about climbing a serene and beautiful tower with no checkpoints along the way. A fall could send you all the way back to the beginning, unless you are able to catch yourself. Jump around challenging obstacles and pick up the collectable monkey heads found in hard to reach locations as you ascend toward the top. Track your speed with the in-game timer at the top of the screen.
This game requires perseverance and determination, but you can do it. Just keep climbing.
Average playtime: 5-10 minutes
