A Long Climb Ago is a running and jumping game where you create the platforms you need with Tetris-style blocks. Play involves two modes; you place the blocks that fall from the sky to create a safe route, then you control your character to run and jump to the exit.

You play a knight and mage who are working to reunite two lovers, repair the crystals and save the realm. You do this by working through levels to ascend the tower. You use the blocks to create the platforms you need by freezing time. But care is needed to avoid hazards, and to stop the blocks you place from bringing down the fragile structures you need to progress.

The result is a short and sweet action puzzle set in a stylish Medieval world. Things start simply but you are soon facing multiple hazards and precarious bridges to cross (and take care not to collapse with your blocks).
