Why it sticks
A vocabulary game that feels like a game.
No flashcards. No streak guilt. Just a small tower, three articles, and a reason to remember the next word.
Short sessions, real progress
Twenty words or two hundred. One saved climb lets you stop mid-row and continue from the exact word later.
Continue where you left off
Score, lives, streak and guided correction state are restored. The tower waits as long as you need.
Practice what you missed
A wrong answer costs one life and shows the correction. Finish with a review list and replay only those words.
Four control modes
Tap to answer, joystick + tap, two-thumb buttons, or a keyboard. Choose the one that fits your hands.
Your own word list
Paste up to 200 article, word, translation lines. The list is validated, saved locally, and becomes a playable level.
How it works
Read. Land. Remember.
Each row gives you one word and three footholds. The climb does the rest.
Read the word
The HUD shows a German noun and its English translation. No timer, no pressure.
Land on the article
Choose der, die or das. Tap a platform, or steer and jump up the tower.
Climb and correct
A correct answer earns a star. A wrong one costs a life and highlights the answer so the word sticks.
In the tower
Small screens, big discoveries.
Real gameplay from the phone build. Tap any screenshot to see it full size.
