Free one-finger climbing game
Box Climb
One cube. An endless climb.
A calm, physics-based climbing game. Pull back anywhere like a slingshot, aim along the dotted arc and let go. Land clean and you climb; misjudge a snowy ramp and you slide back down the stairs you just earned.

How to play Box Climb
The whole game is one gesture. What you learn is the feel of the throw.
Pull back
When the cube has come to rest, press anywhere on the screen and drag backwards, away from where you want to go. You don't have to touch the cube.
Aim
A dotted arc shows where the cube will fly. Drag further for more power and change the angle to reach the next step, a high ledge or the far side of a gap.
Let go
Release to launch and land on the steps ahead to climb higher. Snow is slippery, wind pushes, and a bad landing can send you sliding back down.
One finger on phones and tablets, the mouse on a computer. Esc pauses. Keys 1 and 2, or LB and RB on a controller, use your skills.
Worlds
A new sky every section
Box Climb has 100 sections across two chapters, The First Journey and Waking Gardens. Every section has its own light, weather and ground, and the colors shift slowly as you climb. When the story ends, the climb goes on as an endless run.
Lilac dusk
Soft evening hills where the climb begins.
Northern lights
Green aurora over dark ridges on clear nights.
Snowy peaks
Towers of ice where every landing wants to slide.
Hanging Gardens
Chapter 2 wakes up with floating gardens, greenhouses and rain.
Desert of the Lost Sun
Warm sand, old ruins and a low golden sun.
Moonlit nights
A crescent or a full moon over the quietest climbs.

A daily challenge. Every day at midnight Istanbul time (21:00 UTC), everyone gets the same 327-meter course. Your first launch of the day starts your one official attempt, which is ranked on a daily leaderboard: finishers by time, everyone else by distance. Later runs that day are practice.

100 sections across two chapters, The First Journey and Waking Gardens, ending with a short cinematic story. After that, the climb continues endlessly on new terrain.
Does Box Climb save my progress?
Yes. Your best height, your settings and your current run are saved on your device, so you can close the tab and continue later.
What games is Box Climb like?
It shares the pull-and-release aiming of slingshot games like Angry Birds, the calm mood and changing skies of Alto's Odyssey, and the climb-and-fall tension of Jump King. Box Climb is gentler than Jump King: soft ambient music, minimalist art and one-finger controls.
Who made Box Climb?

How do I contact Box Climb support?
