ABOUT THE GAME
This Game About Climbing game overview
This Game About Climbing takes place up a steep, slippery mountain where each hand is controlled independently. You grip the rock, pull the climber upward, and alternate hands toward the peak. Success depends on testing each hold before releasing the supporting hand. Every secure grip raises the climber toward more difficult and slippery sections. Losing both grips and falling too far costs the current climbing progress. In This Game About Climbing, every result informs the next move.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before you start
This Game About Climbing emphasizes physics-based hand-over-hand climbing. Key decisions involve testing each hold before releasing the supporting hand. As difficulty grows, physics-based hand-over-hand climbing remains the focus.
GETTING STARTED
How to play This Game About Climbing
First, secure one hand firmly before shifting the other toward a higher hold. Next, grip the rock, pull the climber upward, and alternate hands toward the peak. Pause after each result before continuing.
Make short controlled reaches when the surface offers little friction. Every secure grip raises the climber toward more difficult and slippery sections. Main risk: losing both grips and falling too far costs the current climbing progress.
CONTROLS
Controls and device setup
Use the mouse or a gamepad to position and control the climber's hands, gripping one hold while moving the other upward.

Tips for This Game About Climbing
- Keep the climber's body beneath the active grip to reduce swinging. Keep one useful adventure follow-up available.
- Test an uncertain hold before releasing the hand carrying most weight. During physics-based hand-over-hand climbing, read the consequence before choosing again.
- Recover from a slip by stabilizing instead of making two hurried reaches. This protects late progress during physics-based hand-over-hand climbing.
