You are climbing upward from the depths of Hell, making your way through platforms and hazards toward the summit. Play alone or bring up to three other players, who are physically linked to you by a chain.
Jump, grab, and coordinate your movements as the chain stretches, catches on platforms, and affects how the group moves. A mistimed jump can pull everyone off course, so players must work together to cross each section.
Choose Normal Mode, Beginner Mode with checkpoints, or Lava Mode, where rising lava presses you to keep moving. Leaderboards and achievements track climbs in Normal and Lava Modes.
Many supplied reviewers enjoy the game most with friends, where coordinating jumps turns mistakes and shared falls into funny, chaotic moments. Players also describe satisfaction in finally getting past difficult sections together. The same challenge can be frustrating, especially when a fall costs progress or teammates are out of sync.
Take on the challenge of the infamous hardcore platformer either alone or chained together with up to three friends.
Climb as high as possible to escape Hell. Coordinate your clambering and perfect your jumps to scale punishing platforms and outrun the scorching heat. Each layer threatens your ascension with unique challenges, tougher than the last.
