A Difficult Game About Climbing is a physics-based rage game where you control two hands independently to grip surfaces and pull yourself up a mountain, one painful handhold at a time. Inspired by Getting Over It, the game features intentionally frustrating controls that make every inch of progress feel like a genuine achievement — and every fall feel absolutely devastating.
You control each hand separately, clicking to grip a surface and dragging to pull your body upward. The physics are deliberately wobbly, so your character swings, flails, and slips in ways that are both infuriating and hilarious. One wrong move can send you tumbling back down past checkpoints you spent twenty minutes reaching. The mountain is dotted with tricky overhangs, slippery surfaces, and objects that spin when you grab them.
What makes the game compelling despite the frustration is the pure satisfaction of mastering its mechanics. As you learn to read surfaces, time your grips, and manage your momentum, you begin to make consistent progress. The community of players sharing their rage moments and eventual victories adds to the experience — knowing others are suffering through the same climbs keeps you going when you want to quit.
