Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want conventional walking and jumping controls may find the hook-only movement restrictive.

- Players looking for multiplayer play may prefer a game with a stated multiplayer mode.
Our take on Raven's Hike
The defining constraint is that Raven cannot walk or jump: the grappling hook is the basis for all movement. That makes each room a traversal challenge built around using the hook, rather than a conventional platformer control scheme.
What is Raven's Hike?
Raven's Hike is a 2D platformer where movement relies on a grappling hook, with no walking or jumping.
Guide Raven upward through 60+ open-ended levels across 4 stages, finding a route through each room and collecting gems before leaving. The rooms contain puzzles and combat, and players can choose between relying on reflexes and looking for a safer path. The goal is to reach the tower's top, restore equilibrium, and save the world from oblivion. A dynamic soundtrack by Vincent Colavita accompanies the stages.
