What you do

Jump, dash in eight directions and climb wall to wall up thirty single-screen rooms, with hidden strawberries to collect.

Who it suits

Anyone who likes a clean challenge. Good with a keyboard or a gamepad.

01

First climb

The first screens teach the dash in seconds. You will fall a lot, but every restart is instant.

02

Halfway up

Springs, crumbling blocks and wind arrive. Each room is a small puzzle you solve with your thumbs.

03

When to stop

There is no save, so treat a full climb as one session of under an hour, or just play a few rooms on a coffee break.
