- NEW MAP ANNOUNCEMENT - SKYWAY - 24 October 2024
Hello! This is the Exbyte Studios team! After a long period of silence, we’ve received a lot of questions about the new map and its release date. When we started developing the Astrolift Terminal map, we realized that it didn’t quite align with the concept of Only Climb and could potentially have a negative impact on the gameplay experience. Therefore, at the nearly final stage of development, we decided to abandon that map in favor of a new one. The new map is currently in its final stages of development, and we’ll be able to announce its release date very soon. It will be called SKYWAY! We've also removed the Discord link from our main page on Steam, but you can still join our Discord server by following this link: Discord Link

- NEW MAP UPDATE - 21 November 2023
Update: New Map: We have added a new map called Pirate Island. Continue your journey to the unknown heights with the new map, which is a continuation of the story of people climbing up to the heights of perfection. Once you have completed the first map, you will find yourself on a pirate island where pirates trade their loot and keep their treasures. You can start the map solo or with friends. On the way up, you can pick up different kinds of water pistols to stop your rivals from getting ahead. However, be cautious, as the water pistols can toss you in a random direction and hinder your climb. This map has fewer elevators and shortcuts, and there are fewer garbage cans.
