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.

"The whole thing is incredibly enjoyable both from a thematic aspect and as a really solid puzzle game.”

Droid Gamers: “A sequel to possibly the finest climbing puzzler ever created.”

Pocket Gamer: “Oh the joy of victory. It’s still a delight.”

Accolades for Crux: A Climbing Game:
- iOS AppStore 'Game of the Day' (Nov 13 '20)

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!)

Nice puzzle game, took a little time to figure out which control scheme worked best for me and get the hang (pun intended) of moving, but after that it's been awesome.

Thanks for the kind words and glad you stuck with it :) We'll launch on Steam soon, hoping controllers/keyboard might be a more natural fit for the controls.

Calming climbing game. Simple gameplay but hard to master. Good sense of accomplishment when you get the route. Dynos add new dimension to gameplay. Would like to see user-created maps in the future, but well worth the price.
