Crux: The Great Outdoors

About this game

Climbing is about carefully planning your route and flawless execution. In Crux you move your hands or feet to a new hold - but each hold will only let you hang on for so long. Find the sequence of moves that get you to the top and execute them! And when you've reached all the tops - beat the highscores by finishing each climb in the fewest possible moves.

Ratings and reviews

This is the best climbing game I have ever played! The game is well set up with plenty of introductory levels and lots of additional gameplay features that unlock as the game progresses. By the end, it feels like you're reading the beta for a real bouldering route, then you have to go an execute the moves! Such a sense of accomplishment when you finally send it! This game is well worth the price, there's some replayability in the levels to get 3 stars too (some are tricky but it's really fun!)
