How to Play

Every press sends you straight across to the opposite wall. You can't steer or stop in mid-air.

1. Press Space, Enter or the Start Game button. Nothing moves until your first leap.
2. Press Space, ArrowUp or W, the jump button, or tap the game area to leap to the other wall.
3. On arrival you cling and start sliding down slowly. Press again to leap back.
4. Look ahead before each press so you land on a clear stretch of wall, not a pink spiked section.
5. Time your leaps to pass between the yellow bars that slide back and forth between the walls.

Game Objective

Climb as high as you can. Your score is your best height in meters, also shown next to the score as you climb.

The run ends if you touch a spiked wall section or a moving bar, or if you slide off the bottom of the screen. After your first leap the screen scrolls upward on its own, so the bottom edge keeps rising toward you.

Tips

1. Each leap takes about half a second and lifts you roughly 160 units, so you arrive noticeably higher on the other wall. Judge spiked sections by where you'll be then, not by your current height.
2. A press is remembered for about an eighth of a second, so pressing just before you reach a wall launches you again the instant you arrive. It's the fastest way to climb when the screen is catching up.
3. Sliding starts slow but speeds up with height, to more than double its starting rate by about 1,200 meters, so late in a run you can't hang on a wall for long.
4. Moving bars only appear after the first 30 meters. They bounce between the walls, so watch one full pass before committing a leap across its path.
5. Spiked sections on the same wall are always separated by at least 90 units of clear wall, so there is always a safe place to land if you time the leap.

Difficulty

Difficulty: Difficulty: Medium

Wall Jump is rated Medium. It uses a single button, but each leap is a commitment you can't adjust, and two separate clocks work against you: your slide speed grows with height, reaching more than double its starting rate by around 1,200 meters, and the screen's own upward scroll speeds up over time, roughly tripling by about two and a half minutes. Spiked sections get longer and more frequent up to about 1,500 meters, and the moving bars that start at 30 meters become more common and faster.
