GET A GRIP

GET A GRIP is a physics-based climber where players take on the role of a once-advanced robot, now damaged and stranded in a colossal robot graveyard. With limited functionality, scale the treacherous mountain of scrap through the use of interchangeable hands found scattered across the metallic wasteland. Reach the peak or rust forever.

POST JAM UPDATE OUT NOW!! (See patch notes here)
The GMTK build is still available for download.

[ HOW TO PLAY ]

Hands can be found littered throughout the world and can be equipped to the left or right arms of the robot. These hands are capable of gripping onto various types of surfaces and will aide in climbing. You will have to figure out the combination that works best for you in order to scale the mountain efficiently. You can even dual wield the same type of hand for a more interesting challenge.

HAND TYPES:

• Claw - Grip onto dirt and trashy surfaces.
• Suction Cup - Grip onto metallic surfaces.
• Hand Cannon - Has the same capabilities as the Claw, but also propels you off of surfaces.

TIPS:

• Use physics to your advantage! Fling the robot to get out of tough situations.
• The camera angle can make all the difference when reaching for your next grab.
• Death will bring you back to a checkpoint.
