Hey, so I made this game for the GMI Game Jam 2026. The secret theme was "UP AND DOWN ROUND AND ROUND" so I built a dark pixel-art platformer where you climb up (or down) a massive tower that loops.

The twist is that the whole tower is a ring. If you walk off the right side of the screen, you just loop back around from the left. Plus you can flip gravity whenever you want, so you end up walking on the ceilings to dodge spikes or falling up through holes in the floors to get to the next level.

There are 18 different floors to get through, plus wisps flying around, moving pistons, checkpoints, and a bunch of souls to collect if you want to get 3 stars on each stage.

Also, a cool technical thing: I wrote the entire thing from scratch using only Python's built-in tkinter library (yeah i really gone a bit far with any game engine.) No external assets, no images, no pygame or pip installs needed. Every single sprite, background, and particle effect is drawn directly from pixel arrays inside the code itself.

Controls:

A / D or Arrow keys to move

Space / W / Up Arrow to jump

S / Down Arrow / Shift to flip gravity

Esc to pause

F11 for fullscreen

M to mute the sound effects

Updates:

Today i had just enough time to make a new update with daily towers, infinite tower, a completely different gravity mechanic, an icon, sounds, music, and more!
