Machiavelli’s Ascent
Bio
Machiavelli’s Ascent was the first game created by NFS, in June 2008. In this game, you are a jellyfish, climbing up through an infinite amount of water. In order to keep climbing upwards, you must swim horizontally into nutrient bubbles; these will give you a slight boost upwards.
More info
Other elements of the game include super boosts (upward arrows) and starfish (point multipliers). If you fail to reach a nutrient bubble, you fall into the dark depths of the sea and have to restart your ascent.
Controls
Xbox
The green A button starts you off with a small boost. Use left and right triggers to swim left and right, respectively, to reach nutrient bubbles.
iPhone/iPod
Simply tilt your device in the direction you wish to swim.
