One tap. One leap. How high can you climb? Guide a determined little cat toward the summit in Cat Climbing, a challenging 2D climbing action game. Tap where you want to go, judge your distance and leap from one foothold to the next. Simple controls leave all the challenge to your aim and timing. READ THE WALLS Your cat can cling to walls as well as land on platforms. Watch the angle: overhangs cannot be gripped. Plan your route around narrow ledges, rotating platforms and spikes, and make every jump count. KEEP CLIMBING A missed landing can send you tumbling. Reach checkpoints, learn from each attempt and tackle the next stretch with a better plan. Every hard-earned bit of height feels like progress. COLLECT AND CUSTOMIZE Earn coins at checkpoints and use them to buy cat skins. When a rewarded video is available, you can choose to watch it for a larger coin reward. CHASE YOUR BEST TIME Reach the top, improve your clear time and compare your results on the online rankings. Choose a display name and let your climbing do the talking.
