About

Cliff Climb

Read full description

There was a moment โ€” somewhere between 2008 and 2012 โ€” when mobile games were something special. No subscriptions. No energy timers. Just a great idea, a tight control scheme, and that feeling of "one more try." Cliff Climb is that feeling again. Guide two climbers up a crumbling cliff face, connected by a single rope. Drag them from peg to peg, dodge falling rocks, and collect every star you can reach โ€” before the rope runs out of give. Simple to learn. Genuinely hard to master. 25 hand-crafted levels push your coordination and nerve to the limit. The higher you climb, the worse the rocks fall โ€” and from level 15, even the pegs start giving way beneath you. Features: - Two climbers, one rope โ€” coordinate every move or watch them both fall - 25 hand-crafted levels of escalating challenge - Crumbling pegs that collapse if you hold on too long - Falling rocks that force you to keep moving - Star clusters hidden off the safe path โ€” for those who want a perfect run - Classic Mode โ€” 3 lives, collect as many stars as you can - Speed Run Mode โ€” 1 life, race through as many levels as possible - No ads. No timers. No nonsense. Just climb.
