[h1]Rogue's Climb[/h1]

A permadeath arcade roguelike wrapped in brass gears and gaslamp glow.

You are the Rogue — a tinkerer-thief scaling the endless clockwork spire above the Copper City. Every tick the tower drops another layer of gears from above. Shoot fast, chain your matches, and climb — because when the ceiling reaches your board, your run ends. No checkpoints. No continues. Just you, the mainspring, and the leaderboard.

Features

• Permadeath runs, one score per attempt. Every climb is its own story.

• Frenzy chains. Line up precise shots to trigger Overdrive and Redline — rewrite the tower faster than it can pile up.

• Mid-run mutations. At every milestone, take a boon or a curse. Perfect Clockwork multiplier? Or the Tinkerer variety bonus? Your call, your climb.

• Three modes, one scoreboard. Daily Climb (everyone plays the same seed), Speed Climb (beat the clock), Practice (drill for personal bests).

• 18 steampunk achievements — from Apprentice Rogue to Spire Conqueror, with a hidden Paragon for the truly obsessed.

• Full controller support. Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, and Steam Deck all recognized on plug-in, with Steam Input custom mapping.

• Steam Deck verified aesthetic. Pixel-art clockwork visuals designed for handheld and desktop alike.
