Serene and Full of Secrets
Mountain is definitely something that I havent seen before. It throws away the fast-paced, heart-pounding action in exchange for a slow, relaxing experience. Since its so slow, it wouldnt really be good for people who prefer more action and speed in their games.
You dont really get to interact with the mountain much. Its more of a thing you would leave on while you work on something else and then check on it every once in a while to see if anything changed. But I think the simplicity of just leaving it on and waiting is what really makes it shine. I see some people wanting people or animals- something to do while waiting for something to happen, but I think adding things such as those would really defeat the purpose of the game. Although it may seem there isnt much to do, there are secrets to discover in Mountain. Secrets like if you play the notes on the bottom of the screen fast enough, you can speed up in-game time.
Even though I wouldnt consider it as a game, it is still an interesting experience and worth $0.99, especially for the (supposed) 50 hours of gameplay.
Moving off of that, there is a bug I encountered where about an hour and a half into the game, some of my items on my mountain started to disappear with a puff of smoke without me even touching it.
