Stack N Swing

This is my submission to the GMTK game jam 2024. You play as a tank with the goal of climbing as high as possible using falling buildings as your tower. Using your grappling hook you must dodge and climb a tower of your own creation.

Theme Explanation: I decided to use the meaning of scale meaning to climb. But also in the art direction with massive skyscrapers and buildings serving as your platforms and Trees looking as small as grass. I decided to combine this with build by having the player build the structure they are climbing
