About this game

Climber is an action platform game developed by Bon Treasure and published by Watara. Released in 1991 for the Watara/QuickShot Supervision and Watara Supervision, it stars a boy armed with a seemingly endless supply of throwing knives.

The knives serve two purposes: they can defeat enemies and stick into surfaces temporarily, creating platforms that help the player reach higher areas or destroy certain blocks. Each stage challenges players to reach a goal flag while avoiding enemies and hazards.
