Touch: hold the left or right half of the screen to run that way; while one thumb is down, tap with the other thumb to jump and keep it held to jump again on every landing; a quick upward flick also jumps. A 'corners' scheme on the title screen runs from the bottom corners and jumps from a tap above them. Pause and sound buttons are at the top right · Keyboard: Left/Right arrows or A/D run, Space, Up or W jumps (hold it to keep bouncing); P or Esc pauses, M cycles sound, Enter starts or retries, and Left/Right pick a climber on the title screen
About:
An endless vertical climber in the spirit of the 2000s Flash classics, made in-house for Leetdom. Your little climber stands at the foot of a pagoda that goes up forever. Running builds speed, and the faster you are going when you jump, the higher you leap: a standing hop reaches the next floor, a flat-out sprint clears four or five. The side walls bounce you straight back at full speed, so the best climbs are long zig-zags from wall to wall.
Land two or more floors above where you took off and a combo starts; keep doing it before the combo timer drains and the floors you gain are squared into bonus points, with a shout to match. Once you reach floor 5 the tower starts rising, and it speeds up every thirty seconds, so standing still is not an option. Every hundred floors the pagoda changes style, from bamboo halls and stone terraces to lacquer galleries, cloud gardens, frosted eaves and a starlit spire. Your best floor is marked on the wall as you pass it.
Six climbers to unlock, from Mochi the snow monkey to Hoshi the night fox, for reaching floors 50, 100 and 200 and for 20- and 40-floor combos. Holding jump re-jumps on every landing, so a long combo is about steering, not frantic tapping. Best floor, score and combo are kept on your device. Every shape, animal, particle, sound and the koto-style music is drawn or synthesised in code; there are no external assets or network requests.
