Cliffhanger — About this game
Cliffhanger sends Gabe across freezing mountains while fugitives hunt a lost fortune. Jump gaps, climb ropes and ladders, and fight with fists or weapons found along the way. Cold drains energy, so the money you collect can become fuel at a campfire: keeping warm may matter more than carrying every banknote to the end.
