Presented by tizilogic to:

Hobot's Ascent (D)
Meet Hobot, a quirky little robot who one day wakes up to find himself in the basement of a strange tower. Help him use the limited means at his disposal to ascend through the fantastical floors, to discover what is at the very top!

Use the ← → ↓ ↑ keys to move and the Enter key to interact. To switch to fullscreen, press Alt+Enter or F11.

To run the game, just type:
python3 run_game.py

The only dependency is Panda3D 1.10.4.1, which can be installed using the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt

BINARY BUILDS
Binary builds with all dependencies packaged are available from the downloads, though there should not be issues with running from source code.

With the macOS .app bundle, note that you may get an error after clicking Hobot's Ascent.app about me being an untrusted developer. Go to System Preferences, Security, and click "Open anyway".
