A lighthearted, retro platformer where you climb crumbling caves and rescue fluffy animals with a goofy partner.

What players say

Players are split on Tobe's Vertical Adventure. Many praise its charming retro style, co-op mode, and excellent soundtrack, but a significant number criticize the controls as stiff, grid-locked, and poorly adapted for controllers. The game is short with a time limit, and some found the movement frustrating.
