Left-Click: Touch Control



You can scale walls, ceilings, and cliffs.

Rocks cause you to fall.

Being bigger allows you to jump higher and makes you invulnerable to rocks.

Being smaller allows you to squeeze through extra-narrow passages.

Climb to the top.


=== Options Explanations ===

Disable Fall Death: Disables invisible death boundaries above long falls. OFF by default.

Ledge Assist: Grants positioning assistance when climbing up onto ledges. ON by default. This can be disabled for the authentic GMTK 2024 experience.

Direction Primacy: When inputting contradictory directions, the direction which was pressed latest takes priority over older presses. ON by default. While OFF, contradictory direction inputs will result in no input on that axis.
