Steeplejack

A retro-inspired climbing action game where you navigate a 12-stage vertical tower called the Athletic Gym, controlled with simple directional input, jump, and bomb mechanics. You play as Jack, tasked with delivering documents to the top floor of this under-construction building filled with impossible traps and hazards. As you ascend, the timing becomes tighter and platforms smaller, challenging you to dodge rolling spike wheels, navigate swinging platforms, and use bombs strategically to destroy obstacles and enemies. The game encourages both speed-running the optimal route and hunting for hidden mechanics to maximize your score, blending NES-era nostalgia with modern platforming challenge.
