Climbers of Fotune Climbers of Fortune (COF) is the first - and yet the only published game developed on the Pertunalis Engine. More precisesely, COF was the project upon which Pertunalis was developed. The game has hence undergone a long development cycle and is now available in it's final version 1.9.

Background:

COF was chosen as a game project that was simple enough to be developed by a single person while providing enough content to develop a decent game engine and enough fun to keep the developer motivated.

COF was inspired by the game "Ork Attack" on the Commodore Amiga.

Story:

COF is satirical side-blow on modern reality TV. As health insurance has been totally abolished in the neas future, the only way for poor people to get medical attention is to participate in a deadly game show called "Climbers of Fortune". The player takes the role of government official who has to prevent the "Climber" from reaching the top of a wall. This is acomlished by throwing metal balls and - as a second line of defense - your trusty old chainsaw.
