Climb is a first-person action climbing game where you grip rocks and ledges with your hands, swing between them, and make dangerous leaps on your way to the top. This guide covers the controls, checkpoints, the different routes you can climb, and the long-term badge goals that keep players coming back.
In shortA stable connection and a comfortable setup will save you a lot of frustration before you ever touch a rock face.
The game recommends a PC and a good internet connection. Rapid or unexpected movement can happen, so stop playing immediately if you start to feel sick. Mobile is supported, but the experience is smoother on a desktop with a reliable connection.
Worth watching out for
Sudden movement and glitches can trigger motion sickness
A weak internet connection will make the game uncomfortable to play
In shortSpending two minutes in the settings before your first climb will make everything feel much more natural.

Tower escape badges and long-term progress
Summary
In shortThe Tower escape badges are the game's main long-term challenge, stretching all the way to 500 completions.
Separate from the climbing routes above, the Tower has its own escape objective. Every time you escape it you add to a running total, and badges are handed out at several milestones.

Common questions
FAQ
Can I play on mobile?
Mobile is supported, though the game recommends a PC and a strong internet connection. If you do play on mobile, open the settings and use the lock button to rearrange your on-screen controls.
What do I do when I fall or get stuck?
Press R to return to your last checkpoint and try the section again. You can also teleport between checkpoints you have already visited during the current climbing session.
The screen moved suddenly and I felt sick — is that normal?
The game warns players that glitches and rapid movement can occur. Stop playing and rest until you feel better. If it happens repeatedly, report it through the in-game feedback tool.
How long does it take to get all the Tower badges?
The milestones run from your very first escape all the way to 500 escapes, so completing the full set is a significant long-term goal.
