Splatoon: Torrential Climb

About

Splatoon: Torrential Climb is a 2D platformer built in the chaotic style of the Splatoon universe. Play as an Inkling scrambling through flooded sewers and vertigo-inducing heights as water levels surge. Use precise jumps and wall-running to scale vertical environments while avoiding hazards. The level design leans into tight pacing and quick bursts of action, with ink-covered surfaces and shifting obstacles keeping movement dynamic. Despite a brief runtime, the game earned 4th place in a Mario fan game competition in 2020. Fans note its snappy controls and clever use of Splatoon’s signature ink mechanics, though some call for more variety in later levels. The art style nails the over-the-top energy of the series without feeling derivative. A small but functional map ties the short adventure together, making it a quick hit for Splatoon fans who want something simple and frantic.
