Fragile Ascent

About

Fragile Ascent is a co-op physics puzzle game where two players work together to stack shapes into increasingly unstable towers. Using split screen, you and a partner take turns placing blocks, balancing on narrow ledges or precarious angles. The goal isn't just height but maintaining enough stability to avoid collapse. Each level introduces new objects that shift weight or react unpredictably, forcing constant communication and quick adjustments. The game stands out for its chaotic yet precise mechanics that turn simple building into a tense coordination challenge. Released late 2023, it’s already drawing comparisons to classic local co-op titles for its blend of frustration and triumph. Played entirely in a browser, it offers a quick but addictive experience that rewards patience and adaptability. Community feedback highlights how easily it turns friendly competition into frantic problem solving.
