About PYRAMIDEN - 1902
PYRAMIDEN is a free retro climbing game you play straight in the browser — no account, no download. You are an archaeologist who went looking for the Holy Grail in an Egyptian pyramid and found a trapdoor instead. It sealed shut above you. The only way out is up.
Climb ropes, ladders and crumbling ledges through the dark while arrows rain down from above — ice arrows that slow you, fire arrows that burn, poison arrows that blur the climb. Every fifty metres the archaeologist mutters something new about what he is starting to suspect is buried here. Boulders come loose the higher you get.

Scoring
Your score is the height you reach, measured in metres. You have five hearts; arrows and boulders take them, and poison keeps draining after it hits. Fall too far and the climb ends there. The highest climb of the month wins the tournament — every score goes on the leaderboard above.
