"A Difficult Game About Climbing" is a "Foddian Game" (Game designed so that you must reach the top of a surface following difficult controls, major setbacks, and lots of raging, ideal games to stream on twitch or youtube) in the truest sense. It has a set of controls that seem extremely difficult the first 10 or so hours of playing, but to most people's surprise, you DO get MUCH better the more you play. There is an elegance to how you "Jump" or "Lunge" in this game that is difficult to learn, but very smooth when mastered. It seems as if World 2 is absolutely impossible at first, but once you've beaten the first map, it introduces mechanics that feel just as foreign now as the original ones did. Having said all of that, it is not to be taken lightly that the game is VERY difficult, it can be VERY frustrating even for the most patient of people, but falling in this game is ESSENTIAL in order to get better. So remember that EVERY FALL is IMPORTANT and OKAY! Because every time you repeat an obstacle it will almost always get easier EACH TIME! This game is much harder than "Getting Over It" (what it's based off of) I have beaten Getting Over it 60 times and this game 3 times, so I feel qualified to recommend this game to any Foddian Game lover, or recommend it to your streamer so they can suffer instead of you. :)

this game has taught me many things including persistence, Patience, and never giving up no matter how hard it may seem. In total I've played 112 hours of this game. And it has taken me over a year to beat it, but it was all worth it. Thank you
