Grapple Rise
Swing from anchor to anchor up a volcanic chimney with a grappling hook, grab gems and outclimb the rising lava through five zones. Release at the top of each swing to fly higher.
Grapple Rise is a one-finger swinging arcade game set in a glowing volcanic chimney. You are a tiny climber with a rope, and the only way out is up. Latch onto a ring, swing like a pendulum, then let go at the top of the arc to be flung toward the next anchor. Lava is always rising below you, so every swing is a small gamble between speed and safety.
The shaft is made of five zones, from the Ember Vents through Basalt Halls, Sulfur Seam and Obsidian Spire up to the Sky Rim, each with its own colors and a zone bonus when you cross into it. Gold rings are solid, green rings slide sideways, and cracked rings crumble a second after you grab them. Falling rocks are announced by a warning arrow, and the lava speeds up the higher you climb. Gems give chain bonuses when you collect them in quick succession, and your highest climb is saved with Bronze to Magma Master medals to chase, plus a flag showing your previous record.
It suits anyone who likes physics-based climbing games and short, tense runs. Tip: do not hang on one rope for long. Latch the next ring while you are still rising, and use A and D or the arrow keys to pump the swing when you need extra reach.
How to play
Click or tap a glowing anchor to throw your hook, swing, then click empty space (or press Space) to let go and fly upward. Hook the next anchor in mid-air. Collect gems for chain points, avoid falling rocks and crumbling rings, and climb as high as you can before the lava reaches you.
