No-checkpoint Foddian climbing game

A Foddian rage game where one throw can erase hours.

Greed's Folly is a hard 2D climbing game on Steam about throwing teleportation bottles through a magical library. It belongs to the Foddian tradition: climb upward, learn the route, fall brutally, and try again with slightly better hands.

What makes it a Foddian game?

Foddian games are about committing to a climb where failure costs progress instead of health. Greed's Folly follows that shape, but replaces normal movement with bottle teleportation.

Climb first

The world is a vertical magical library. Progress means learning how each shelf, gap, bounce, and hazard fits into the climb.

Fall hard

There are no checkpoints. A missed throw can send you back through sections you thought you had already conquered.

Master one tool

Your bottle throw is movement, recovery, routing, and panic button at the same time.

Why rage game players notice it

Greed's Folly is not hard because it hides the objective. It is hard because the answer is usually visible, and your hand still has to do the throw. That makes each fall personal, readable, and perfect for streams or challenge videos.

Built for speedrun routes

The early runner page includes provisional categories for Any%, All Collectibles, and First Escape. The first routes are still open, which means players can discover skips, recovery lines, and safer climbs before the board settles.
