A challenge lies before you, or rather above you. Can you surpass this vertical puzzle? Can you reach the top? And then what, will you stop and rest, or continue to climb higher. Climb Higher is a challenging physics based puzzle platformer where you must slingshot yourself up high, stick to whatever you can, shatter through everything that breaks, grow big, shrink down, become the master of your momentum, and reach even greater heights! From the creator of Brain It On! and Shatterbrain. This game shows ads during gameplay, but you can remove them with an in app purchase which supports my work and helps me continue making games. Thank you for playing my games!
