About the Game

The Wire Man
This game is a 2D platformer game where the goal is to climb to the top using wires.

Introduction: The player can be controlled with a keyboard and mouse, and although the completion point is not very high, various obstacles get in the way.


[Key Description]
A, D: move
space: jump

Left click: hang wire

Right-click: cancel wire


[warning]
If it hits a red wall or the tip of its head hits a wall, it will fall.

This game cannot be saved.


[advice]
Overcome terrain with creative routes and methods

As you climb, your head may hit obstacles and return to the starting point. This will be painful, but it will make you more proficient and stronger.

I do not recommend this game if you want to finish the game easily.

I recommend this game to those who like difficult things and are persistent challengers.

good luck...
