Peak: Devil May Climb

Have you felt a distinct lack of score-based dopamine while climbing in Peak? If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump after them but also do a sick flip? Do you like shoving mechanics into games they weren't designed for?

Devil May Climb might be the mod for you.

Devil May Climb adds a Style Meter to Peak, which reacts to a number of actions you can perform in game. Consistently do "cool" things, and your style rank will skyrocket!

Being injured or worse, boring, will lose you points and ranks.

There are no proven benefits for being Stylish. Stylish individuals can be up to 50% more likely to never make it off the island.

Features

• Style Display that reacts to doing 'tricks'.
• Trick History with dynamic trick names.
• Tons of tricks to perform!
• Tons of modifiers that will effect your trick scores!
• Fully client side.

Future Work

• Bugfixing
• Graze bonus tricks, for narrowly avoiding hazards
• Catching tricks, for catching thrown items
• Other tricks probably
• Perhaps a tangible reward for being stylish?
• End run readout of your overall style
• More config options

Pairs well with:
