Overview
Pointless Climb is a precision platformer that turns the usual climb upward into a nerve-wracking test of skill. Developed and published by Morteza Ahmadi, this Early Access title launched on October 28, 2026, and it wastes no time dropping you into a desperate situation.
After escaping into burning waters, protagonist Ilia Movahed plunges into a towering vertical abyss. The only way out is up—toward a summit that feels almost unreachable.
Highlights
- Fluid Parkour, Brutal Consequences: The core loop revolves around responsive, skill-based movement. Timing, angle, and momentum determine whether you survive or slip into the void. Expect clean ledge vaults, wall climbs across varied surfaces, drop catches, and high-velocity jumps.
- Local Split-Screen for Up to 4 Players: Grab some controllers and race friends to the top on a single screen. The first climber to reach the summit wins—co-op chaos and rivalry guaranteed.
- Early Access with Full Audio in Multiple Languages: The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Simplified Chinese, all with full audio. As an Early Access title, it's likely to evolve based on player feedback.
Who It's For
If you're a fan of difficult platformers that demand precision—think Celeste or Super Meat Boy but in 3D—Pointless Climb should be on your radar. The split-screen multiplayer adds a party-game twist, making it a great choice for local gaming sessions.
Solo players who enjoy mastering movement mechanics will also find plenty to sink their teeth into.
