    Very unique and cute little game. Although you don't have any control over what happens, I believe that's one of the intriguing qualities about it. Events unfold before your eyes just to witness what happens next.

    Anyone going into Mountain expecting a standard 'game' is in for a **** surprise. There isn't anything to do in Mountain, other than sketch out your feelings at the start, and play little tunes on your keyboard as your mountain spins along.

There isn't anything to do in Mountain, other than sketch out your feelings at the start, and play little tunes on your keyboard as your mountain spins along. While that sounds painfully boring, ten minutes into my first playthrough I was in love with my mountain. I played it songs on my keyboard during snowy days, and welcomed each random item (which will crash into your mountain periodically) with some nice notes.

    Other than that I didn't really do anything. I left Mountain up while I messed around on the web, and ate and watched movies. Every once in a while, mountain would ding, and a meandering thought would scroll by on the top of the screen. Sometimes these thoughts we funny, sometimes uplifting and sometimes they were depressing. It was strangely emotional, watching this mountain question it's own beauty, or marvel at the clear night sky.

    The game is one dollar, and why it isn't everyone's cup of tea, I think everyone should try it. Just leave it up in the background for a while and see how you feel after a few days.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an amazing adventure of emotion and self discovery. The ever changing aspect of mountain shows that less is definitely more. This game took a huge turn after about 2 hours in when small villages start popping up and colonising the mountain. Excellent insight into the human condition. Would definitely recommend.… Expand

    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.
