Olympus Ascending

The game is supposed to be played by two people.

Embark on a celestial sprint towards Olympus in 'Olympus Ascending,' an exhilarating indie game born from the fires of a game jam. As a soul ignited with determination, you race against a rival soul amidst the ethereal realms of Greek mythology.

Dive into a world where the essence of ancient gods permeates every pixel, and the very fabric of existence pulses with divine energy. The race to Olympus is not just a test of speed, but a trial of wit and strategy as you navigate treacherous paths and outmaneuver your opponent.

Harness the power of Zeus, Ares, and Dionysus as you encounter mystical power-ups scattered across your ascent. Electrify your speed with the thunderous might of Zeus, bolster your defenses with the unyielding strength of Ares, or revel in chaos and confusion with the intoxicating influence of Dionysus. 

With each step, the tension rises, driving you closer to the pinnacle of Mount Olympus. But beware, for every advantage gained could be swiftly countered by your opponent's cunning. Only the swiftest and most resourceful soul shall claim victory and ascend to the realm of the gods. 

Will you emerge triumphant and take your place among the divine pantheon? Or will you falter in the face of adversity, consigned to dwell among the mortals? The race to Olympus awaits, beckoning you to rise and conquer the heavens in 'Olympus Ascending'
