🚀 How to Play Tower Climb (and Why It’s Addictive)

Tower Climb is a vertical jumping game I built for fun and skill — it looks simple, but once you try to beat your high score, you’ll be hooked. Here’s everything you need to know to enjoy the game properly.


🎮 Controls

On Desktop:

  • Use ← / → to move
  • Tap spacebar to jump
  • You get double jump, but only once mid-air (not unlimited spam!)

On Mobile:

  • Use the buttons at the bottom
  • Double tap anywhere to jump (even mid-air)

✅ Holding spacebar won’t work — you’ve got to time your jumps.


🧱 Platforms and Movement

  • The higher you go, the faster things move.
  • Platforms randomly shift as you climb.
  • Their width adjusts based on your screen size — so it works smoothly on both mobile and desktop.

Watch your step: missing a platform = game over.


💥 Power-Ups

There are two types:

  • Jump Boost: lets you leap higher
  • Double Score: multiplies your score gains

Power-ups show up:

  • Between 200–700 score (early boost)
  • Then once every 1000 points

They only last a few seconds, and when they’re active, you’ll see:

  • A glowing game border 🔥
  • A live timer on top showing how long you’ve got

They’re not easy to grab, but totally worth it.


⏸️ Other Features

  • Pause button on top right
  • Responsive layout for all devices
  • No ads, no spam, just pure HTML5 gaming fun

🧠 Pro Tips

  • Time your double jumps — don’t waste them too early.
  • Use the first power-up wisely — it’s your best head start.
  • Land clean. Missing once usually means you won’t recover.
