I spent most of my effort polishing the two endings, which you shouldn't miss!\r\n\r\nUPDATE\r\n- 10 Lives version is uploaded due to the difficulty. Original submission is untouched. Now you can't miss the Ending :)\r\n- Dodge missile by jumping away from ladder and climb back on.\r\n- After you jump out of ladder, you need to let go up key to hold it back again.\r\n\r\nMade with Unity + 2d Toolkit\r\n\r\n- Arrow keys for movement, Space for jumping.\r\n- You can briefly jump out of ladder to avoid projectiles.\r\n- There are TWO Endings in this game. Once an ending is reached, you must RESTART the game and play through the whole thing to get another. (The endings are directly related to the theme and for that matter the game itself isn't too long)\r\n- If you played my previous entry, you know what to do to reach not-so-obvious ending.\r\n\r\nThank you and Enjoy.","title":"Leap of Faith"}
