User Reviews for Mountain

The best is at the end

If I could give this 6 stars, I would. The ending was phenomenal and so thought provoking. It’s better than any movie or video game I’ve experienced and I’m avidly looking for it. Wow... just wow... how could you even describe it? Don’t pass up the opportunity to play this amazing game.

Insightful.

I didn’t know what to expect and I think it helped me in being completely open to whatever the mountain would be. I found myself looking at the mountain as something I want to protect. Green, serene, void of anything negative. Suddenly, an old fridge crashes into my serenity. I can feel the discomfort, my urge to do something to “fix” the scene, clean it up. Then I realize there’s nothing I can do but accept it, release my anxiety about it and seek ways to welcome it and other unexpected or unwelcome things into my mountain (world). A great exercise in letting go of the urge to control and just accept the beauty of everything as it evolves.

Uummm, not so much

The polluted mountain is kinda depressing. My daughter likes to poke at the garbage. I just want to clean it up but I don’t think there is a way to manipulate the junk other than poking at it.

It grew on me

I’ve been running it under TvOS for several days and I can understand why some people are very negative about it. But if you leave it running, especially with a good sound system, it adds a minor, somewhat melancholy, but also interesting element to the day. It reminds me of Bob Shaw’s “slow glass”. My son thinks it’s just a Big Troll, and I’m familiar with David OReilly and maybe that’s how he thinks of it, too. But I’ll invoke the Author Fallacy and claim that it doesn’t matter. Mountain can be a small but interesting addition to your day, if you want it to be.

Depressing

The graphics are wonderful, but watching my mountain become polluted with an unending array of junk which I can’t do anything about is far from the relaxing experience this game is supposed to engender. I would have been happy to pay a lot more for the relaxing experience I was promised, but as it is the 99 cents I paid for the game is far too much.

Transcendent

We need more art like this. If you’re looking for a game, this isn’t it. This is a little universe you can look in on time to time. Buy it even if you don’t want to. We need to support this developer. It’s only 99 cents. If you like this, try his other philosophical experiment, “Everything.”

Not even for $1

This game is absolutely pointless. It bills itself as “zen” and “relaxing”... no. There is NOTHING in the game. It’s a grassy rock that spins around and you get some text at the top. There is a keyboard at the bottom that slightly changes the time of day for the rock if you bang on it for a few minutes. This isn’t a game. It’s a rip off. Do not buy.

Actually pretty calming

When I played this, I didn’t really think much of it at first, but I started to see that it was very calming to me, especially when I play the keyboard thing, because the notes are just so pretty and relaxing to me. Also, I read some of the reviews that said that you can’t pick up the trash, but you actually can if you press and hold it for a few seconds. Just thought I’d mention that so people wouldn’t hate on this game for that.

Can’t read the ‘Thoughts’...

Sadly the ‘thoughts’ are not readable at the top due to the shape of the iPhone 12 screen. I really enjoy checking out my mountain, playing notes, moving around the stuff that crashes into it. But I really love the overall atmosphere it creates with the sounds and visuals.

This is exactly what it says it is

You are a mountain. I don’t even know what to rate this. Please just leave me alone right now
