What is Above?
This free, single-player, third-person climbing game takes you up an enormous tower in a mysterious world across more than ten levels. You leap between handholds and wait for magical grips to appear as you work out your route upward. Completing the climb unlocks a timed mode for racing against your own time.
For you if...
- +you enjoy skill-based movement that takes practice to learn
