About the Game

DEMO NOW AVAILABLE. CHECK IT OUT !

A platformer… without the platforms!
Climb as high as you can using only ropes. Dodge obstacles like eagles, seagulls, hot air balloons, vultures, lasers, gorillas, bees, and even flying sheep in a world packed with hilarious hazards requiring skill and impeccable timing.

Race against a mischievous monkey for a bonus, or take on a friend in intense 2-player split-screen race mode to see who can climb higher, faster. Survive burning ropes, power through rain and snow, and race for your spot on the global leaderboard.

Choose from a variety of quirky characters, each with unique climbing abilities. Boost your energy with food, speed up with coffee, and use bananas to lure monkeys and gorillas out of the way. Disable lasers, hit checkpoints before your energy runs out—and whatever you do… DON’T FALL!

REKINDLE THE JOY OF THE GOOD OLD RETRO PLATFORMER DAYS! the golden age of gaming—with a twist.

Ropes takes the timeless thrill of classic platformers and infuses it with fluid 3D animations and realistic rope physics. It’s a bold leap into nostalgia, reimagined for a new generation—an immersive, unforgettable experience that rekindles the fun of the good old days.

Note: Single Player mode works even better on a vertical monitor.
