About the Game

This retro-inspired climbing action game delivers simple yet addictive gameplay with just three inputs: move, jump, and bomb. Master all 12 stages as you ascend ever higher.

Your mission is simple: deliver important documents to the top floor of the under-construction “Athletic Gym” tower.

But inside, you’ll find a brutal gauntlet of absurd traps designed for those who thrive on challenge.

Take the fastest route to the top, or uncover hidden gimmicks to boost your score.

The higher you climb, the tougher it gets—tighter timing, smaller platforms, and no room for mistakes…

Can Jack survive the climb and complete his mission?

Featuring nostalgic 8-bit style visuals with a fresh gameplay feel, this game offers a rewarding challenge for both retro fans and action game enthusiasts alike.

  • A nonstop upward climbing jump-action game!

  • 12 stages in total—each one gets tougher the higher you go…

  • Throw bombs to destroy enemies and obstacles!

  • Aim for the goal flag at the top of each stage!

  • Pass checkpoint flags to restart from there after a miss.

  • Collect items to boost your score, and earn extra bonuses for no-miss clears!

  • Earn 1UP at 20,000 points or 100 coins (grab tons from treasure chests)!
