Klifur offers a unique take on bouldering, turning every handhold and foothold into a challenge of balance and physics. You control a flexible climber, repositioning each of the four limbs one by one to discover the single correct path through each level.
Gameplay: Every Reach Is A Strategic Move
The main goal is to guide the climber to the final hold. However, the game requires you to drag each hand or foot to a desired spot while maintaining enough contact points to keep your balance. A single misplaced limb can cause your entire climb to collapse. So, observe the holds ahead and visualize your next move before executing it.
Physics And Balance Create The Challenge
Klifur stands out by combining climbing, physics, and puzzles. In most situations, you must keep at least three of your four limbs on holds to maintain stability. From Level 3 onwards, some routes feature large holds that allow the climber to grip with both hands or both feet. However, this state is temporary; a countdown timer indicates how much time remains, forcing you to quickly find the next hold.

FAQs
Is Klifur a typical climbing game?
No. The game combines climbing with physics and puzzle-solving, requiring players to carefully calculate the placement of each limb.
Why does the climber fall easily?
The body loses balance if sufficient points of support aren't maintained. Generally, you need to keep at least three of your four limbs on the wall.
What is the function of large holds?
In certain levels, large holds allow the character to hang on using both hands or both feet for a limited time.
