Wall Crawler

A cat burglar climbs the face of a brick building at night, from the street to the roof, one window at a time. Every window has a blind that rolls down and up, and the blinds keep moving while you climb: a climber on a window whose blind closes all the way falls. Birds flap about the building, and now and then a flower pot teeters on the parapet and drops straight down your column. Touching either is a fall too. A timer counts down from 99, and the climber falls if it runs out. Reach the roof to score 100 times the level plus the time left; on the next level the birds and blinds are faster. Each fall costs one of three lives and starts the climb again from the street.

Controls: Either controller: the joystick climbs up, down, left and right from window to window. On the title, up and down choose and a button starts.
