About the Game

Caden's Climb is a fast-paced platformer inspired by Pizza Tower & the WarioLand series (emphasis on "inspired by Pizza Tower") where you play as Caden Climb, the indie developer on a quest to stop the CEO of Super Silly Softwares, Christopher Manman, from absolutely destroying your game company while making sure to rescue all 5 smalls from each level (and collecting the Dodecahedron!)

In Caden's Climb, you can expect a variety of ways to play such as,

  • Classic: Maneuver your way through a level, slam the button and run to your nearest exit! Try go as fast as you can and get the best rank possible! If the stability of the realm falls apart however. Blacko WILL stop you.

  • Race: Race against your friend, and pastaria owner, Caden Smalls!

  • Deathrun: Battle against time, in an ultimate race to the exit. Collect clocks to increase your timer, but beware. If the timer runs out, it won't look so hot on your ranking.

  • Boss: Fight one of Christopher Manman's best minions! Kill them! (that last part is really up to you.)

  • Wyatt's Levels: Dive through a giant conglomerate of the current world's levels but be warned. The pirate always prevails, and you certainly don't understand what you're dealing with.
