Company description
Glass Ceiling is the ultimate female revenge fantasy. In our first game, our hero Moxie fights her way up the corporate ladder—literally. By battling fresh men, backstabbing co-workers, asinine accountants, crazy clients, bad bosses and other office stereotypes.
Glass Ceiling is an action adventure side scrolling platform—kick ‘em up game—with increasing levels of difficulty. Each level represents a floor in a corporate skyscraper. Our hero starts out in the lobby and works her way up the corporate ladder. Each floor of the building is filled with power-ups, secret treasures, and tough boss battles. On mobile devices, the game features a touchscreen control system. You simply tap and hold in a direction to run, tap in the air to jump, and tap enemies to attack and defend. The player encounters multiple foes on their way to the top. Once the final level is reached the player will have the “ultimate” encounter and discover what lies on the other side of the Glass Ceiling. Glass Ceiling will release in Fall of 2011.
