About A Difficult Game About Climbing

✦ AI summary

Use precise mouse controls to scale a brutal mountain with only your climber's arms, facing physics-based challenges across 16 unique zones split between two campaigns. Each fall strips your progress but teaches you mastery, creating an addictively punishing experience where failure becomes the path to understanding both the game and yourself.

REACH THE PEAKPull yourself up a treacherous mountain to reach the legendary Peak, where eternal glory and a wonderful gift awaits. This journey demands complete mastery in the legendary art of climbing.Game includes one free expansion, a completely new, bigger adventure featuring a full second chapter that’s more brutal, more ambitious, and absolutely not easier.

Enjoy:

  • No deaths or violence.Just the constant fear of falling and losing all your progress. Perhaps that is worse…
  • Physics based climbing.Use only your mouse to control the arms of the climber. Gamepad supported.
  • Endless suffering.The world record is under 4 minutes. You, however, will be here for hours. Possibly forever.

But not:

  • Legs... You cannot use your legs for some reason.
FAILURE IS A TEACHER. EACH FALL IS A LESSON.Embark on a philosophical journey, uncover lessons of ancient wisdom and who knows... perhaps even the meaning of life itself?ETERNAL GLORY AWAITS YOU AT THE PEAKConquer each of the 7 uniquely designed areas that make up this one colossal mountain to receive the grand prize.

Expansion - Chapter 2:

A completely new, bigger adventure featuring a full second chapter that’s more brutal, more ambitious, and absolutely not easier. Adds 9 completely new zones and is included with the game.“The ascent has become familiar… almost comforting. But alas, far below, within the endless water that binds earth to heaven, lies a glimmer of hope - and perhaps a deeper truth.”

Note from the developer:

This game is inspired by "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy", itself a homage to an older game made by Jazzuo. I aimed to capture the magic of GOI's intensely difficult gameplay, which becomes comically easy once you master it.
