The Climber

The Climber is a single-player game with three short, challenging levels. You race against the clock on each path, using the timer to improve your time on repeated attempts. The average playtime is 10 minutes, and you can choose between two camera modes and two characters, Dylan and Isis, whose performance differs slightly.

Three challenges

Each level must be completed to unlock the next. In Rafting, you steer a kayak down a river, avoiding rocks and wild animals. Collect floating bottles to set checkpoints where you can restart; your character’s companion waits at the end of the course, camped on a small beach.

In Rapel, you descend a stone wall in a hostile climate and make your way to a camp at the foot of the mountain. A box tied to a balloon, sent by your companion from the top, marks the checkpoint. Along the way, avoid scorpions, eagles, poisonous plants and sulfurous gases from the mountain.

Tracking takes you across a dangerous desert trail by bike. Touch a bell hanging from a dry tree to activate the checkpoint, and navigate avalanches, sandstorms, snakes and broken bridges. After completing all three challenges, you can keep replaying them to improve your times.

Controls and camera

The controls use the keyboard, and each camera mode has a control map to help you with the commands.
