GIRP (wall-climbing game)

Post by Ruldra »

Nice little game from the developers of QWOP. Try to reach the top, it's harder than you think. After numerous tries the highest I've ever got was 20m. The wall is rumored to be 100m high.

The game seems frustrating at first but it's a lot of fun once you learn how to swing around to reach the higher rings.

Sums up my thoughts exactly. I hated this game for about an hour before things clicked. Figuring out how to effectively create momentum is pretty fun and the controls kinda make you feel like you're actually rock climbing.

I've gotten to the end twice but can't seem to reach those last few rings. Can it be done without jumping?

The last part is a bit tricky, but it can be done without jumping.

Grab the S ring with your right hand and make sure it's as close as possible to the left edge (like in the pic above, except with the other hand). Then swing your body and reach out for I. Along the way, let go of the flex button so your right arm stretch. This will give you a little more reach and just enough to reach I.

This is nearly unplayable for me because of rollover problems. The author gives the option of using the mouse for flex, but that's even worse unless you're on a laptop.
