Background

Hex Climbers is a dark endless vertically scrolling arcade platformer. Play as a slime with a magical wand able to shoot frogs on command. These aren't just any frogs — they're magical frogs with unique abilities. You were thrown into a cauldron by the nasty witch, but after landing on a platform you are driven to escape the cauldron and live a peaceful life. Avoid the rising brew, anything that tries to get in your way, and break hexes to create platforms.

Objective

The goal is simple: climb as high as you can by destroying hexes to create platforms while defeating any enemies in your way.
