About This Content

Your itchy balls have turned you into the world's premier mountain climber. Scratch to charge your jump, then unleash your newfound power and leap to heights no sensible person would attempt.

Scratch & Climb adds a 2D platforming mode to Ball Scratch Simulator. Hold a grounded scratch to charge your jump, release to launch, and steer toward the next ledge. Short, medium and high jumps turn a simple input into a succession of awkward decisions.



Climb through 20 illustrated stages, from green foothills and caves to snowy summit routes. Work around spikes, gaps and moving platforms, then reach the flag to clear each stage. Three optional trail charms per stage give you 60 reasons to take a more careful route.



Retry a missed jump, improve your local times and medals, and race a translucent replay of your own best unassisted clear. Unlock three hiking outfits as you finish more stages; they change your look without changing the jump rules.



Four familiar adult companions offer advice and encouragement. Optional companion help can provide a safety catch after repeated failed attempts, with assisted records kept separate from regular bests. The scenery is pretty. Your technique remains questionable.

  • 20 authored 2D platforming stages across foothills, caves and summits.
  • Grounded scratch charging with three jump strengths and air steering.
  • Spikes, moving platforms and 60 optional trail charms.
  • Local medals, best times and personal-best ghost replays.
  • Three earned hiking outfits alongside the default outfit.
  • Four adult companions, optional advice and a limited safety catch.

Requires the base game Ball Scratch Simulator on Steam to play. This DLC is not a standalone game.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

A pristine world dreamt up by artificial intelligence. Ever had a dream where you fall, then suddenly jolt awake? This is that dream realised by AI. Perhaps you are AI. Perhaps the developer is AI. After all, you both fall in your sleep. Surely that proves something.

Generative AI was used extensively for illustrated artwork, writing, instrumental music, sound effects and store capsule art. These are prepared assets; no content or code is generated live during gameplay, and gameplay uses no external AI services.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Contains crude and suggestive body humour, clothed crotch-scratching, exaggerated grunts and suggestively styled adult companion characters. Platforming includes spikes, falls and quick respawns without realistic blood or gore. All depicted characters are adults. There is no nudity or explicit sexual activity.
