The Art of the Climb

Premise:

Thanks to the careless visitors of the museum, several valuable paintings are getting damaged and are about to be taken down. Clean up and restore the paintings to keep them hanging on the wall. Be careful – you don’t want to be in a painting when it gets taken down!

Controls / Gameplay:

Move between the paintings to find damage (splotches or rips) and pass through them several times to get rid of it. If the percentage of each painting (located at the bottom left of the screen) reaches 0, that painting is taken down and you’ll lose a painting to step on. 

a, d - move

SPACE - jump

h - hang

• Tap and hold the h key on your keyboard to grab on and hang from the wall/painting. You can also jump from a hanging position, so use this to your advantage to reach damaged spots that are too high to reach by jumping!

ESC - pause
