About the Game

"The Alpinist" is a plateform game where your goal is to climb up a huge mountain.

You are playing a young alpinist, that everybody likes to call "Shrimp".

Use an ice Axe to climb walls, and a grappling hook to twirl in all directions. Small creatures can be used as hooking points. Choose carefully wich one you aim, as they all have different purposes.

Aim accuratly, or you might fall back to the bottom of the mountain. Don't worry, Shrimp is a tough nut.

Key Features

  • A game of skill and precision.

  • A randomly generated mountain each game you play.

  • Variable weather conditions, and a day/night cycle.

  • Aim, shoot, twirl in all directions with your grappling hook.

  • Seek for warm spots, because the cold will be more and more biting as you climb (Not part of the demo).
