About This Game

The Kepler-9 can't bring you back. AURA, the ship's AI, can only record you.

KEPLER ASCENT is a space platforming FPS for players who want to optimise every jump. One route per chapter, identical for everyone, every run: no luck, just you, the clock and the perfect line.

Movement to master

• Grappling hook, wall run, rockets, orbits, saucers, trampolines, pendulums and ice

• A readable game: nothing gets between you and a precise jump

Built for tryhards

• 12 chapters of 3 acts each, with a final chapter that closes AURA's story

• Hundredth-of-a-second timer, 3-gate splits and a results screen

• Bronze, Silver, Gold and AURA medals

• Ghost of your best run

• Instant one-press restart

• Practice mode: respawn at the last gate, times not recorded

• 3 files to collect per chapter for 100%

• Full run: every chapter back to back, total timer

Online too

• Ranked duels with ELO rating and ranks

• Battle royale: players are eliminated as the course advances

• Friends matches via Steam invites

An AI watching you fall

AURA comments on your wins, and even more on your falls. "I saw the jump. You knew it wouldn't make it."

Go as far as you can.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Kepler Ascent was made by an independent developer with the help of generative AI tools. AI was used to write part of the game's text (story and AURA's lines), to compose the music and create AURA's synthesized voice, to build some 3D models and cinematic sets (generated through scripts), and to produce the logo and artwork of this store page (rendered from the game's own models). All of this content was created ahead of time and reviewed by the developer. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
