A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Welcome to Long Way Up, a game where you climb a tower with 40 floors.

This, mind you, isn't a very simple task. You can't control your movement, and touching a single obstacle will kill you, but fortunately you have a number of tools to assist you in your climb, such as a claw, a high jump, and the option to move faster.

This game was made with the intention of being as egregiously infuriating as possible, so my recommendation is not to play this if you're having a bad day.  Also, if you believe any levels are impossible, please let me know so that I may suffer alongside you because I haven't play tested some of the later levels.

Install instructions

Extract the zip folder compatible with your operating  system, and execute the "Long Way Up" application. It is the one with a red door.

For Mac, you have to follow a few steps before opening as otherwise you will get an error. Move the app to the Desktop folder and open the terminal. Type in the command "cd Desktop", press enter and allow access, and type in the command "chmod +x LongWayUpMac.app/Contents/MacOS/'Long Way Up'". 

After pressing enter, open the app. This will then say "Apple cannot check it for malicious software". To fix this, open Settings --> Security & Privacy, and press "Open Anyway" where it says "LongWayUpMac was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer". A pop-up will show up. After clicking "Open" in this popup you're free to go. Let me know if you have any problems when opening, I will try to fix them as soon as possible.
