About

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. Enjoy: No deaths or violence. Just the constant fear of falling and losing all your progress. Perhaps that is worse… Physics based climbing . Use only your mouse to control the arms of the climber. Gamepad supported. Endless suffering. The world record is under 4 minutes. You, however, will be here for hours. Possibly forever. But not: Legs... You cannot use your legs for some reason. 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. Expansion - Chapter 2: 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.” Note from the developer: 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.
