Acrophilia

Share Collapse

Author Comments

Higher! Ever higher! You must run, jump and climb sixteen titanic towers, stuffed with danger. Why? Because you are an acrophile - one who loves heights! But beware - the higher you climb, the more precarious the towers become, with blocks crumbling and collapsing beneath you with realistic physics. Even worse, floodwaters are rising behind you. And even though you're a good climber, you're a very bad swimmer...

Control the Acroman with WASD or arrow keys. Jump with Shift or Z. P to pause, M to toggle music and SFX, and ESC to exit a level.

Protip: Walljump to kick blocks sideways after they have collapsed - this is an important technique for passing some levels.

well...

well it was kinda fun in a I want to climb kinda way

This was alright...

I didn't really have fun but I did like the hard work that you put into it.

Good but

It's a great concept, and pretty good implementation. However although there are a number of improvements I could suggest, one in particular is extremely important.

In some levels (especially the hard levels) there are multiple spots at extremely high altitudes which have falling blocks that are needed to get to the next platform. If I screw up and they fall, I don't die but there's no way for me to continue so I have to press escape and start the entire level over again.

The level design is good overall, but these areas need improvement. Objects like falling blocks in a game should work against the player only in that if the player doesn't jump off them in time they fall off the screen and die; if you have falling blocks in a game like this, they should regenerate after a few seconds. That way, having them fall prematurely doesn't make it hopeless for the player, but rather it gives the water a few more seconds to reach him.

Fun game but almost to hard

This is definitely not a pick up and play. its harder than i thought. but it is a good game. a little more detail in graphics would do

woah

suprisingly fun!
