turnbasecamp

turnbasecamp is a turn-based mountain climbing game. Climb, rope, jump and shelter your way across a ridgeline to the next campsite, across a procedurally generated hillside!

Join the Ill Omens Discord to say hi, find out about what I'm making next, and tell me about your adventures on the mountain!

You can also play turnbasecamp on the web here! The WebGL version isn't as stable or nice as the download version, and I like showing the screenshots on itch pages, so I've kept it as a separate link.

There's a full tutorial in game to walk through the basics of climbing. Here's a quick reference for the buttons:

Arrow keys: move and climb

Enter: Create campfire, tether to cliff face, interact

Space (hold + direction): jump

Escape: quit to menu

R (hold): restart current climb

On the main menu you can view the level generator used in the game, tweak settings and play a level you've generated. There are on-screen controls for moving the camera around and changing the level generator - try fiddling with settings you don't understand and see what happens!

You can also view an early test room where I tried out some different approaches to jumping. Press 1-3 in the room to change the jump mode. This room is very basic but should let you see the difference between the jump styles.

Thanks to Rianna, Florence, Younès, Chris, Dave, Mads and Anndra for feedback and feature suggestions.
