Mort is an intern in the afterlife, working for a company that ferries souls to their final destination. Being an intern isn't all it's cracked up to be. However, when a clerical error is discovered, Mort is given the task of sorting it out. Could this be his big break?
- Fluid, automatic grapple hook mechanics. You don't need to worry about your aim, as the grapple hook automatically locks on
- Certain grapple points temporarily enhance Mort's abilities! Double jumps, switches, and more are embedded in the swing points.
- Non-linear exploration. Explore Heaven and Hell at your own pace, looking for the misplaced souls.
- Hand drawn comic book pages, for story points and stuff
- Around eight tough as nails areas planned, plus an undetermined number of HARD MODE levels
- Amazing soundtrack by Jimmy Hinson, co-composer on Mass Effect 2, and composer for multiple indie game such as Pax 10 finalist, PuzzleJuice.
- Planned level editor
In Pursuit of Fire
Animating fire isn't easy, especially for an inexperienced artist like me. Thank heavens for particle systems then!

It's been a little over three months since the last time I published anything about Mort. What caused such a lapse in updates?

Just finished the demo. I'm a huge fan of platformers, high difficulty, and grappling hooks. This game seems to have all that, AND a hilarious storyline. Very well done, my friend. I had a huge blast playing the demo and bought the game immediately. Downloading the full version as I type this. I can't wait to play it. Keep on rockin', man, and thanks for this awesome game!
I'm sure this is already on your priority list, but making the keybinds(input), volume, and screen resolution configurable would be much appreciated. Thanks again!
I just finished beating all of what's currently released. So that's about 3-4 hours of gameplay for the entire game up till now. Quite difficult, but sooo much fun. If this is roughly 20% of the game only, I can't wait to see more. Just hope that you're still working on it :X.
I just noticed that there haven't been any recent news posts. Is this game still under active development, I hope? :X
Hey TimeBomb, thanks for the feedback! I'm really glad to see you're enjoying the game. Yes, the game is still in active development. I've been working on this game a long, long time, and have no intentions of ever stopping until it's complete. Unfortunately, a few life things have gotten in the way which have put this lower on my priority list than I would like, but there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about this game.
Thanks again!
Thanks a lot for getting back to me, and quickly! I'm really glad to hear that you're still working on it, and I can understand that, sometimes, life happens. I wish you the best and can't wait to see more updates for this game.
Like the demo. Controls are awesome other than one thing I can't get over. The HOOK SHOT, I just don't like that it stops dead about 50% of the time and the fast pass of the platforming and good feel of it ends up being interrupter by stopping and adjusting the hook length then swinging back in forth. It doesn't feel right imo...... other than that great job controls are right under SMB.

Thank you.
If I buy this game now in alpha, will it update automaticly? im kinda new to pc gaming and want to know just so i dont have to buy it again. Thanks
Yes, if you purchase the game now you will get all the updates at no additional cost, including when it is 100% complete. Essentially, you're buying the game, and just getting to play it before its completely done.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm really glad you're enjoying the game. I'm working on updates, but it's slow going, since I'm mainly focused on the level editor now. Hope to have more for everyone soon!
