About this game
You are a cockroach. Hated. Doubted. Nearly impossible to get rid of. Somehow still alive. Double jump, glide, and skitter your way toward The Bright in this hand-drawn 2D precision platformer. Crawl through suffocating underground biomes. Survive tight platforming trials. Do it all before your 100 miserable little lives run out. Climb Cockroaches have sticky little feet. Disgusting. Useful, but disgusting. Scuttle up walls and cling to vertical surfaces. But don’t get overconfident. Climbing drains stamina, and if you run out mid-scramble, you’ll peel off the wall and plummet. Double Jump You lost a wing. Tragic. You can’t fly, but a desperate flap will launch you into a second jump. It’s not graceful. It’s not impressive. But it’s enough to clear wider gaps and recover from bad positioning. But you can only use it once until you hit the ground to recover. Every midair correction is a risk. Commit… or fall. Glide Fine. Your wings healed. Happy? You still only have 3 though! You can glide, slowing your fall dramatically and crossing long, dangerous stretches in a single attempt. It’s controlled. It’s deliberate. It’s almost elegant, in a deeply unsettling way. Gliding drains stamina slowly. Platform Precisely This is a precision platformer. Not a forgiving one. Expect tight inputs, deliberate movement, and challenges that demand consistency. Most of the nastier trials are optional, but the rare spores hidden behind them aren’t going to collect themselves. If you want everything, you’ll have to earn it. 100 Lives You have 100 lives to complete the climb, if you lose them all, you lose all your progress. (You can toggle Save Wipe off in the settings if you want low stakes) Other A first climb should take you ~1-2 hours. Master it, though? You’ll tear through the whole thing in 10–15 minutes. Efficiency is a very cockroach trait. Features 10 Hand-Crafted Levels Ten carefully designed stages of increasing length and cruelty. Platforming chains grow longer and more demanding as you progress. Early sections test you. Later ones assume you’ve adapted. Movement That Evolves Jump. Double jump. Climb. Glide. What begins as desperate scrambling s…
