Armed only with your grappling hooks and fearless nature, run, leap and swing your way across a dreamy skyscape to reach the pillar of light. Welkin Road is an elegant, first-person puzzle-platformer that combines parkour and grappling-hook-powered aerobatics.
Soaring amid the clouds, Welkin Road blends free running with grappling-hook-powered aerobatics, challenging you to reach the end of each level using only your wits and the abilities available to you. The road ahead will test your resolve, your concentration and your reflexes, forcing you to master your swings and movement as you learn new techniques to overcome the obstacles in the world… or plummet to your doom.
The gameplay is driven by two core components: grappling and parkour. Make use of the two grappling hooks to swing from point to point, creating momentum while using parkour-inspired movement to explore the world. Sprint, leap, balance, run on walls and hold on for dear life as you perform incredible, high-altitude, acrobatic stunts.
You have full control over the grappling hooks, as well as the direction, speed and timing of your swings. Master and blend all of these elements into fast, fluid and elegant runs. Challenge yourself further by competing against the clock and the time of other runners around the world.
Main features:
With full control over two grappling hooks you can chain swings together and use your momentum for fluid, elegant movement.
Use wall running, wall jumping, crouching and wall grappling to overcome obstacles and find the best route to the pillar of light.
The game is full of different types of grappling mechanics which will impact the way you move and solve puzzles.
Levels require you to master swinging, movement, various abilities and to discover new ways to use and combine them.
Race against the clock or try to beat the times of other runners around the world, and compete for a spot on the leaderboards.
Frequent checkpoints and manual resets mean you can get back into the action as fast as possible. This allows you to practice sections and master an entire level without having to constantly restart. Improve on sections, find the most efficient route and set the best time.

Welkin Road from screenshots may seem a bit unpolished or lacking, but it is a truly fun and challenging experience. It starts off with a fairly simple parkour-esque run and jump through the map to complete the level. A bit like a mirror’s edge game without any enemies to get in your way. It then begins to evolve into more of a skill based puzzle as you discover the various orbs and their effects while trying to time your jumps correctly. If you enjoy more action or skill based puzzle games I would definitely suggest adding this to your library.
