This is a difficult game about climbing.
REACH THE PEAK
Pull yourself up a treacherous mountain to reach the legendary Peak, where eternal glory and a wonderful gift awaits. This journey demands complete mastery in the legendary art of climbing.
Game includes one free expansion, a completely new, bigger adventure featuring a full second chapter that’s more brutal, more ambitious, and absolutely not easier.


FAILURE IS A TEACHER. EACH FALL IS A LESSON.
Embark on a philosophical journey, uncover lessons of ancient wisdom and who knows... perhaps even the meaning of life itself?

ETERNAL GLORY AWAITS YOU AT THE PEAK
Conquer each of the 7 uniquely designed areas that make up this one colossal mountain to receive the grand prize.
A completely new, bigger adventure featuring a full second chapter that’s more brutal, more ambitious, and absolutely not easier. Adds 9 completely new zones and is included with the game.

“The ascent has become familiar… almost comforting. But alas, far below, within the endless water that binds earth to heaven, lies a glimmer of hope - and perhaps a deeper truth.”
This game is inspired by "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy", itself a homage to an older game made by Jazzuo. I aimed to capture the magic of GOI's intensely difficult gameplay, which becomes comically easy once you master it.
