Gameplay

In Extreme Rock Climbing, the player may choose from one of several different game modes, including Free Climb, Capture, Solo Climb, and a practice mode. After that, they can choose from one of many different characters to play as. Then, the player chooses a map, and the game begins. The game is played by using the arrow keys to grab onto one of the rocks on the wall. As the game progresses, the character's health goes down slowly. If it depletes entirely, the player will fall off the rock and lose the game. PowerBars are required to win the game, since they restore the player's health. Once the player reaches the top of the wall, the game rewards them with a congratulations screen and returns to the title menu.
