About the Game

Climb your way through a series of increasingly dangerous levels in this fast-paced 2D platformer inspired by classic arcade challenge.

In each level, your goal is simple: collect the required cameras and reach the top. But it won’t be easy.

Tahoe Joe hurls barrels directly at you, tracking your every move. You’ll need quick reactions, precise movement, and perfect timing to survive.

Core Gameplay

  • Dodge and survive
    Barrels are thrown straight at you and adjust mid-air — standing still means failure.

  • Collect to progress
    Each level requires you to gather cameras before you can move on.

  • Master the parry system
    Time your inputs perfectly to destroy incoming barrels before they hit you.

  • Scale the difficulty
    As you advance, barrels become faster and more frequent, pushing your skills further.

Level Progression

  • 15 handcrafted levels

  • Increasing camera requirements:

    • Early levels: 1 camera

    • Mid-game: 2 cameras

    • Late game: 3 cameras
