Description
Climbing is about carefully planning your route and flawless execution. In Crux you swipe on either side of the screen to move your hands or feet to a new hold - but each hold will only let you hang on for so long. Find the sequence of moves that get you to the top and execute them! And when you mastered all the challenges - Crux lets you design your own routes to share with other climbers!

"Crux gives me some of the mental joys of climbing, if not the physical and social joy of doing it myself. In these shitty times, that’s a pretty great thing." Riley McLeod - Kotaku (Sep 11 '20):

Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful, elegant
But it’s very boring for me. I couldn’t make it past the first few levels.
I think part of the issue for me is that though the mechanics are spectacular and work wonderfully, the levels are designed into an unrealistic hard grid not seen in the climbing walls and natural rock formations.
I suppose it’s an abstraction. Things could have been off kilter on position but they are tightened up for playability.
Still... seems like there could be an alternate mode in future where the layout doesn’t conform to a grid.... maybe either the grid gets distorted spatially, but remains a grid. Or some other solution.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your feedback! You're spot on, to transport such a complex sport to mobile controls there is a lot of abstraction required. We chose to turn it into a grid-based puzzle but of course there are other ways it could be (and has been) done. We're currently working on Crux 2 which will still use a grid but the visuals will be focussed on outdoor bouldering, so hopefully a bit more interesting ;)
Super cool
What a cool game as a climber this game really made me smile first time I fell cause I did not read the beta right. Awesome job!
