About this game
The Plan is Simple: Get to the Top and Get Out
Greed's Folly is a punishing 2D climbing game where precision matters and failure is unforgiving. You are a greedy guy named Grizzle who has stolen an ancient magical recipe for the philosopher's stone so that he can make infinite gold. Now trapped deep underground, you must throw magical teleportation bottles to navigate upward through enchanted obstacles, treacherous hazards, and impossible architecture.
One Throw. One Chance. One Way Out?
Using only your mouse, aim and charge your throws to launch bouncy bottles that teleport you to wherever they land. But be warned... The library is alive with magic and danger. Slopes will send your bottle rolling, mysterious forces will push and pull it, and the environment itself conspires against your escape. Every section introduces new surprises that will test your skill, patience, and resolve.
A Living, Breathing Library
The magical library is a vertical labyrinth of wonder and peril. Ancient stone gives way to bubbling alchemical chambers. Enchanted books float and shift. Nature reclaims forgotten halls. Steam-powered mechanisms tick and hiss. Each section is distinct, unforgiving, and you'll need to master them all.
Fall and Fall Again
There are no checkpoints. One mistake can send you plummeting back to the beginning, losing minutes or even hours of progress. Greed's Folly doesn't hold your hand. It pushes you off the ledge. But with each attempt, you'll learn the patterns, master the physics, and inch closer to whatever awaits at the top.
