You've traded your family's cow to a strange, old man for a pouch of magic beans.

The game begins with a small plant pot and you watering your newly-planted, magic beans only to cause a beanstalk to shoot through your roof. Overcome with curiosity you decide climbing the beanstalk is a great idea.

Beanstalk is an endless climber (vertical endless runner) where your main goal is to get as high up the beanstalk as possible without dying. The gameplay consists of an automatic climbing pace, with three 'lanes' that you can swipe in the corresponding direction to switch lanes, being in the leftmost lane and swiping left however will not throw you into the abyss.

How can I die?

  • -Avoid the gaps in the beanstalk; landing on one of those tiles will cause your character to fall off.
  • -Exclamation marks appear in a lane as a warning, if there is an object falling very soon, this could consist of beans, roof tiles or unconscious birds that got pummelled by the sudden growth of the beanstalk. The time between 'warning' and the falling object will decrease depending on how high up you are, so there is less time to react.
  • -It appears that other plants have already started to sprout off the beanstalk and they look hungry. Two types of traps could consist of strangling vines that will entangle you and pull you into the beanstalk, never to return, and overgrown Venus fly traps, reminiscent of the piranha plants from the Super Mario franchise – which will also consume the player if they collide.
