    Mountain explores our hopelessness, our despaired yearning, and so much more besides. Like a buzzing bee buzzing with the buzz of electric in a buzzing city where everybody's looking for the next big buzz, it flits and darts from one concept to the next, seemingly erratic in its pace, but deceptively calculating with its predetermined patterns.

There's really no purpose here except what you give it, but if you give it any, it's probably because you're an idiot. I was tricked into buying this game because someone said that eventually little people show up on your mountain and build little cities, and you get to be god of the little people. Nothing like that ever happens. The mountain just twirls endlessly in space while completely random object crash into it for absolutely no reason. I just had a thought: Maybe I don't ascribe any reason to it because I don't ascribe reason to the Universe? Maybe a religious person would find this game moving and deep? What did I say before? "If you ascribe meaning to it, it's probably because you're an idiot." Oh yeah. Wait, if I think the purpose of the Mountain is to make me question it, and question my metaphysics and epistemology, then I must be the idiot! And so your thoughts turn and turn, endlessly, like the mountain. I think the mountain is telling me to kill myself. No... no... John Lennon.... Kill... John... Lennon....

    Anyway there's nothing interesting about this game except the ambient sound track and the weird artsy-fartsy meaningless statements it makes. I gave it a two.... it was only 99 cents after all.    … Full Review »

It's like taking"Mountain" is all about patience—requiring you to have the patience of a saint, while teetering on the edge of sheer boredom. It's like taking care of a pet that you watch with intense focus, hoping for something exciting to happen. But in the end, all you get is something as uneventful as a rock. Well, in this case, a mountain.

    I can't even remember how I stumbled upon this wannabe game that's more like a fancy wallpaper. But believe me, I'm itching to forget this whole experience, or whatever you want to call this lackluster non-experience, as soon as possible.    … Full Review »

    Mountain is a screen saver. There are some time consuming achievements to hunt for but even that I wouldn't call gameplay. Worst 99 cents IMountain is a screen saver.
