About the Game

Bao Boi is a fast-paced vertical climbing platformer. With only one life, you’ll dash, jump, and weave through traps and enemies to reach the top of each stage.

Every level introduces new hazards and unique enemies to keep each climb unpredictable. Collect gems for an extra challenge, race against the timer, and see how quickly you can conquer all four climbs. Death is instant, retries are instant—can you reach the summit in one life?

  • One life, one climb – every mistake means instant death

  • Fast retries – jump back in immediately after failing

  • 4 unique stages – each with their own traps and enemies

  • Optional gem collecting – extra challenge for daring players

  • Race the timer – push for the best times

  • Tight, responsive controls – built for precision platforming
