Cairn (rubic, torcado, Camera, Kavol)

HIYA!

Due to some game-breaking bugs, our team is maintaining an updated version of Cairn here: https://rubic.itch.io/cairn-bugfixed (the world is shared)

This version doesn't add any content, it just fixes mechanics that might harm other player's experiences. If you're participating in Brackey's Jam 2022.2, feel free to play and judge us based on the original game shown here. If you're looking for a better experience, click the link above!

WHAT IS CAIRN?

Cairn is a game about climbing a mountain and leaving your mark for future travelers.

In Cairn, you play as Daisy, an intrepid adventurer bound for the top of a seemingly endless tower. Along the way, you're aided by mysterious wildlife that allow you to shift parts of the ground, writing your name into the path before you. Will you create advantages for yourself and for others that come afterwards? Or will you contribute to the havoc of the spiraling monolith?

Cairn is a "live world" homage to Jump King. It carries a lot of the mechanical and visual spirit of the game, but strives to be a little cheerier and significantly more chaotic by allowing players to completely morph the original experience of the game. Any change you make to the world is reflected in everyone else's game, the map you see now is a culmination of everyone's changes across the world.
