The JAR and JAD are the Original Java ME Version for phones and emulators. How to install.

About

A one-button vertical climber. You cling to a wall and slowly slide down it; press 5 to kick off and leap diagonally up to the opposite wall. Spike strips line both walls, gems sparkle in risky spots, and the camera climbs on its own - faster the higher you get - so hesitating is as deadly as jumping into spikes.

Objective: Climb as high as possible without hitting spikes or falling behind the rising screen.
