Forget the jump button. You need a ladder! Take your 2D platforming skills to new heights as you scale a towering, ladder-shaped world armed with only a ladder and the determination to reach the next rung. Using unique twin-stick controls, the ladder becomes an extension of your hands: Tilt, plant, and fling it with full physical control as you seek mastery in the ancient art of Rung Fu.

A LADDER CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT

In the Lad's capable hands, a ladder is more than some simple climbing tool! Bridge otherwise impassable lacks-of-floor, tilt over obstacles like an Olympic pole vaulter, swing over chasms, add springs and pogo your way up, ride it down a hill like a sled, or perch above toxic sentient ooze. Our ladders transform 2D platforming classics into zesty new challenges!

A BOLD NEW VISION FROM THE CREATORS OF LET’S! REVOLUTION!

Players claimed to love Let's! Revolution! (93% positive on Steam, 86 OpenCritic) but deep down they were probably thinking, “this game has barely any ladders!” That’s why, for their next title, BUCK Games committed to making a 100% ladder-themed game. Mission accomplished!

...AND DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME!

And who am I? Just your friendly neighborhood ladder salesman, here to guide you every rung of the way. I just want what's best for you. As long as it's ladders. It is ladders, right?

DISCLAIMER

*Results may vary. Ladder Lad takes no responsibility for any existential crises, strained relationships, or repetitive stress injuries sustained during your climb. Ladder Lad does not constitute financial, spiritual, or life advice.  Side effects may include: unbridled ambition, mild vertigo, and a rock-solid belief that the next rung will be the one where everything finally clicks. Some lads were harmed in the making of this game. Void where prohibited. Prohibited everywhere. Climb anyway.
