Altitorture — Getting paired up and starting a run
About
OverviewAltitorture is a two-player obby where you and a friend climb out of a deep pit using an elastic rope that connects you both. The rope makes every move matter for your partner, so coordination is the whole game. This guide covers how to get started, how to use the rope well, and how to push through when you get stuck.

Getting paired up and starting a run
Step
The game requires exactly two players. Walk up to the person you want to climb with, then both of you need to act — one presses the button, and the other confirms it in the same way.
- Find a partner solo play is not possible, so you need someone with you before anything else.
- Press 'Request rope' walk up to your partner and hit the button.
- Accept the request your partner accepts by walking up to you and requesting a rope back.
- Check the rope is connected once linked, the climb begins.
How the elastic rope changes everything
Summary
The elastic rope is the mechanic that sets this game apart from a standard obby. Because it links you physically, neither player can just sprint ahead and ignore their partner.
- Interdependence neither player can progress while ignoring the other.
- Force transfer when one player climbs, the rope pulls on their partner.
- Angle matters the direction the rope runs between you affects how hard each move is.
- Communication tell your partner what you are about to do before you do it.
Three climbing approaches worth knowing
Tips
No single method works for every section of the 600-metre climb.
- One player leads — useful on narrow paths or sections with lots of small ledges; the lead climber moves up and uses the rope to help the other follow.
- Climb together — on wider, flatter sections, matching each other's pace and moving at the same time.
- Support each other with tension — on especially hard spots, use the rope's stretch to brace one player while the other secures a foothold.
What to check when you are stuck
CheckBefore restarting, run through these checks.
- Is the rope tangled? a tangled rope locks both players in place until it is freed by adjusting your positions.
- Are you at a reasonable height relative to each other? one player being far above or below the other puts too much strain on the rope.
- Are your movements timed badly? if you are both pulling in different directions at the same moment, stop, talk, then try again with agreed timing.
- Is there another route? if the same obstacle has beaten you several times, look for a different path around it.
- Have you actually talked to your partner? most coordination failures come down to not saying what you are about to do.

Common questions
FAQCan I play this alone?
No. The game is built for two players and cannot be started solo. You need a partner before you can do anything.
What do I do if the rope gets tangled?
Stop moving and talk to your partner about adjusting your positions until the rope loosens. If you cannot untangle it, restarting and trying a different approach is a reasonable fallback.
Does this game cost anything to play?
No. You can reach the full 600-metre goal without spending anything. The game's entire challenge comes from teamwork, not items or upgrades.
