Jacobs Ladder

Jacob doesnt want to stay in his room tonight...
Jacob’s Ladder is an unconventional indie puzzle-platformer where you control the puzzles and platforms! Guide 8-year-old Jacob through his dream-world by sliding various ladders, blocks, and gizmos into place to make his path safe. Encounter roller balls, moving platforms, portals, wing boosters, nightmares, switch blocks, and much, much more!

Beautiful hand-painted watercolor backgrounds and an uplifting original orchestral score combine for a sublime gaming experience.

Hybrid procedural and hand-made world generation ensures you see something both new ＊and＊ exciting each time you play. With 376 possible level templates in uncountable possible configurations and combinations spread over 15 distinct areas, youll be coming back to Jacobs dreams again and again. And if youre able to guide Jacob home in the base game, further challenges in secret unlockable levels await you!

Works great on both phones and tablets! It should run well on most devices from the last few years, but as a single developer, I have no ability to test on every device. However, if it does not run well on your device, just tell me with the "email developer" link and Ill issue a prompt and full refund. Thanks!


When I set out to make Jacobs Ladder as a single independent developer, I wanted to make an enchanting and uplifting game that felt truly unique and special while fully embracing the mobile touchscreen platform. I honestly feel Ive succeeded and hope you do too.
