Devlog #1 – Alpha Release of Exploit to the Top 🎉

Hey everyone!

I’m super excited to announce that the alpha version of Exploit to the Top is now live and playable right here on itch.io!

This is the very first public build, and it’s still rough, but that’s the whole point—this game is about breaking rules, abusing glitches, and climbing to the top in the weirdest ways possible.

What’s in the Alpha

• A vertical climb map where you can already test your glitch-hunting skills.

• Core movement mechanics (running, jumping, some quirks that you’ll want to exploit).

• A few hidden intentional exploits that can give you a shortcut upwards if you discover them.

• A very basic goal system: reach the top and feel like you’ve cheated the universe.

Known Issues

• The HTML build can freeze or lag on some browsers (working on optimization).

• Some bugs are there by design, but others… well, they just snuck in. 😅

What I Need From You

If you try the alpha, I’d love to know:

• Which glitches did you find fun?

• Did you manage to reach the top?

• Did the game feel more chaotic fun or chaotic frustration (even though the game is intended to be rage game)?

Your feedback will help me shape where the game goes next.

What’s Next

• More glitch types to discover.

• Expanded levels with more paths and exploits.

• A cleaner UI and progression system.

This is just the start, and I can’t wait to see how players break my game in ways I never expected. Thanks for checking it out—go exploit your way to the top!
