Conjured up by a small, passionate team of creatives here at Media Molecule, A Long Climb Ago is a 2D puzzle-platforming adventure game in which you build castles out of thin air. Summon building blocks, then spin and slot them together to create platforms - and climb the tower to save the realm from certain calamity.

You’ll need to stack up - and hop across - blocks precisely, strategically and speedily if you’re to make it to the top of the tower. Thankfully, you have some tricks up your ample wizardly sleeve - including the ability to freeze time itself. No biggie.

Can you enchant a path to victory, repair the shattered crystal that holds this world together, and reunite knight Amara with her beloved Seren? Course you can. But will you? We hope so - we had a fantastic time making this genre-bending game, and we’d love to see you fall for its charms, too.

A player uses their magic wand to stack blocks on the edge of a ledge. Bright green hazard areas are dotted throughout the level.
