Anyone played Forsaken Spire? 
It seems like a really fun physically modelled climbing game, with actual gripping finger hands instead of spiderman climbing, but I can't play it to save my life, I got off the tutorial beach easily enough but actually climbing the first random tower defeats me, the vertical pipe sections I just can't grip.
Any advice?

I've tried a few different seeds for tower generation and they all feature these fucking pipes near the ground.
