About
A single-screen climbing platformer. Barrels are thrown from the top, roll along each girder, drop off its open end and occasionally tumble straight down a ladder - including the one you're on. Walk, hop and climb your way to the top girder; every barrel you leap scores 100 and each stage the barrels roll faster and more often. Ladder positions change every stage.
Objective: Reach the top girder on every stage without getting hit.
