What is Rise?

Rise is a co-op platformer adventure! One player takes control of an ambitious squirrel who can run and jump, while the other takes place of a tree who can place branches. The squirrel's goal is to climb up the tree with the aid of the tree, who can place branches. The squirrel helps the tree by collect acorns and parasitic mistletoe.

How do I play Rise?

Great question! As a squirrel player, your goal is to reach the top of the tree before the timer runs out. You can grab acorns that allow the tree player to place branches, as well as mistletoe that opens up spiderweb platforms. Jump (and double jump) your way to the top!

As the tree player, your ultimate goal is to help the squirrel reach the top! You can place branches as well as deleting them. If you get too far from the squirrel, no worry! You can always teleport to your curious companion.
