Hand Over Hand

Embark on an epic rock-climbing journey to reach the flagstick at the very top of the cliff and complete hundreds of levels in Hand Over Hand! Despite the goofy and sometimes comical atmosphere, the gameplay is actually amazing and truly captivating. A ragdoll physics engine that takes into account factors such as gravity, momentum, and the protagonist’s joints is the cornerstone of this epic game.

The character you’re controlling doesn’t look much like an athlete, but you’ll be amazed by his upper-body strength. He clings to any surface effortlessly and can swing around so effectively that even our ape predecessors would be in awe. Avoid the obstacles on your way toward the peak and collect stars to unlock some fancy apparel at the shop to go with the flow in style!

When you’re near the flag, it’s enough to grab the stick that holds it in place to complete the level.
