How it feels

A tense, minimalist climbing game where each jump is a gamble, rewarding persistence with incremental progress but punishing failure by erasing all progress.

What players say

Players say this free Only Up clone is janky and assembled from mismatched store-bought assets with broken collision. The music cannot be turned off and there is no menu, while some players report motion sickness.
