Story climber
Jump upwards through your story. Someone special waits at the top.
A vertical jumper with heart. As your person climbs, story milestones appear: a year, a caption and, coming soon, an optional cartoon memory scene made from your photo. Their partner, family or friends wait at the top. It’s our most sentimental game and a proper tear-jerker for anniversaries, birthdays and big moments.
How to play
Hold the left or right side of the screen (or use the arrow keys) to steer. Jumping is automatic. Climbing is emotional. Choose Bouncy walls for a faster, slippery climb: build up speed to jump higher, bounce off the walls and chain combos.
Controls
Hold left/right side of the screen, or arrow keys
