About This Demo

This is a very early prototype demo of Climbing Chaos: Much Earlier Access,
where sharks with arms and legs defy physics (and basic motor skills) in a hilarious, experimental party game about climbing and exploring solo or with friends!

Move your body and each arm independently to grab, climb, and explore a world designed for ragdoll physics moments, leaps of faith, teamwork, and hilarity. What should be as easy as reaching out and grabbing something is…well, much harder than it looks. You'll laugh, you'll scream, and you'll probably fall a lot.

Up to four players can scramble together in local multiplayer with co-op and versus modes of play. You can play remotely with Steam Remote Play Together!

Don't have friends to play with? A solo player can control multiple sharks and still enjoy the multiplayer experience by themselves. Spawn your squad of sharks and form chainlinks to swing and reach high places.

There are a variety of game modes and a playground full of toys to test out your acrobatic moves. Can you find and climb the giant shark statue? Or practice shark darts on the dart board? There’s even a gladiator arena, where you can fight to be the last shark standing.

This is still incredibly early (and it took some convincing of the studio heads to let us start talking about it already). The graphics are placeholder, but we think we’re onto something with the gameplay. There are still tons of bugs, but it’s already fun, so why not share the madness?

It’s ridiculous and charmingly janky, but it's somehow still a blast. We'd love to hear what you think. If you're having a good time, follow us on Steam or join our Discord to get the latest updates and join us on this chaotic journey!
