How to play The Climbest

Desktop

Tap once to jump, then tap again to cling onto a platform.

Mobile and tablet

The Climbest works on phones and tablets and is played in portrait mode. Since everything is done with single taps, it plays well as a one-finger tap game on a touchscreen.

About The Climbest

It is a pixel art game, and the climb has no top.

The levels in this arcade climber are procedurally generated, so the platforms sit in a new layout every time you start. Miss a platform and your climb is over.

The whole game comes down to the timing of jumping and clinging. Your second tap has to land at the right moment, or you sail past the platform. That makes it a skill game where practice matters more than luck.

Bonuses appear along the way, and you can grab them as you go up. A soundtrack plays while you climb.

Quick summary

  • You start at the bottom and try to climb as high as possible.
  • Each jump takes one tap, and a second tap makes you cling to the next platform.
  • You grab bonuses on the way up.
  • The run ends when you miss a platform.

Key features

  • The climb never ends, so the only goal is to get higher than before.
  • Platform layouts are procedurally generated and change on every attempt.
  • One input does everything, much like a simple clicker game.
  • Bonuses are scattered along the climb.
  • The game world is drawn in pixel art.

Tips & tricks

  • Do not try to memorize a route, because the layout is different every time.
  • Focus on your second tap, since a missed cling is what ends the climb.
