    Thank you!
  • Nice for a real climber

    Does actually replicate a bit of the feel of bouldering in a gym. Also I noticed the icon looks low resolution and “fuzzy”
  • Great game to relax and get lost in, worth a download

    It’s a perfect game to forget about your troubles. The visuals and music are clean, and the gameplay is simple with puzzles that increase in difficulty through the levels.

    The controls initially feel a little bit sluggish, but it doesn’t have a huge affect on the game and if anything adds to the chill atmosphere.

  • Nice & simple

    Simple game but enjoyable with controls that take time to master but that’s part of the fun

  • Amazing

    I’m an actual climber and I love this game.

    Yes it’s not exactly like climbing, but that’s a good thing. The way it’s adapted gives it a very similar feeling to things you’d experience climbing. For example, alternating moving hands and feet, falling on small holds, and resting on ‘checkpoint’ holds. After a hard sequence, reaching one of those feels almost the same as reaching a rest hold. You stop and think about what you’re going to do next.

    I do more sport climbing in real life and longer climbs in this game give you the same feel, as opposed to a boulder problem. I particularly love doing a long climb and seeing if I can do it top to bottom without falling. The last sequence gives you a taste of reaching the top of a high climb. A bit panicked and adrenaline pumped. And finishing a hard climb after figuring it out for a while is very satisfying.

    I have run into a couple of bugs, but it’s rare and not game breaking at all, and doesn’t interfere with gameplay. The aesthetic of this game is amazing and it pleases me that I don’t have to dread any ads from popping up. That might’ve ruined it for me. I haven’t got the expansion yet but I definitely will.

    This game is a great blend of simulating climbing, and creating a puzzle like game. I have really enjoyed it.

    (Maybe there should be a multiplayer version with one person being a belayer lol)

    Many thanks for the detailed feedback! Always makes us very happy when it works for someone exactly as intended. We're going to add a lot of new features and content very soon so stay tuned!
  • Unrealistic climbing movements

    Tedious to move arms then legs separately your top and bottom half don’t feel like they are working together and there are no inertia type forces where you can build speed with a controlled speed and your feet can only touch the black squares without the option of using the flat wall as a kick off point.

  • Good but..

    I don’t like the game but I still like it.
    The controls are not working. Could you build a control thingy where you control it or fix this? Thanks.
  • So fast

    This is a great game but you can’t hold on the small diamonds for too long so can you please slow the motion of the falling diamonds please
  • Old climbing dirtbag loves it

    I had fun doing the demo climbs, and really enjoyed the challenge of the last one, that I whipped off of numerous times, lol.
    I m looking forward to playing it more. Nice work!
