Forward to the Sky

Forward to the Sky is an action-platform game built around climbing a giant tower and moving through small combat and traversal rooms. By our assessment, its appeal is the clean, almost puzzle-like flow of going upward, fighting a little, then reaching the next ledge, which gives it a neat rhythm. The downside is also the same: with no deep systems to lean on, it can feel slight once the basic loop is understood. In practice it plays like a compact indie game that asks for steady attention more than long-term mastery, and the name fits the simple upward push it is built around. It sits closer to a short, focused arcade adventure than to a sprawling action RPG, and the ending is its limited scope rather than any grand ambition.
