"Crux: A Climbing Game" is a mobile game that simulates the climbing experience by having players swipe to move their hands or feet to new holds. Each hold has a limited duration, requiring careful planning and execution to reach the top. The game offers various challenges, was featured as AppStore's "Game of the Day" and PocketGamer's "#1 Game of the Week," and even lets players design and share their own routes. As Kotaku's Riley McLeod said, it provides some of the mental joys of climbing in difficult times.
