Game Description
Climb to the top of the mountain before it gets dark, and meet a lot of fun characters along the way!
How does your game tie into the theme?
You are trying to stay as long in the light as possible, as you are climbing a mountain to escape the darkness that is rising like the sea.

Really, my main complaint was not having regular mouse camera movement, as well as how difficult the jumping part was. One text chunks just gave the cutscene id, which I assume was bug but maybe on purpose? I laughed either way. I really enjoyed this, especially the chess game.
Wow, loved every character, the visuals were great and so was all the audio. Excellent voice acting. If this were a longer game available for purchase I would buy it instantly.
The humor and vibe were spot on and the voice acting and character interactions gave me a good chuckle!
I was confused by the chess at first until I realized that I could just move pieces around willy-nilly. Hilarious!
Loved the humor and different animations with voice acting. Really added an amazing level of polish to everything. I am not sure I missed something, but apart from everyone I met mentioning the darkness, it never got dark till the ending credits. Would have liked to see more effect as I was progressing.
My stream and I were laughing continuously - Very well done. The Mini Game was especially entertaining.
Pros:
Critiques:
This is legit one of the funniest games I ever played. It was stupidly good.
Special cheers to the voice actors!
This was super fun and silly! I loved the art style and overall vibe B) I'd love to see more games like this!
Super cute… laughed out loud getting the rope… and might be the best door opening cutscene I have seen thus far in the jam!
This game is a great example of how even short ones can be very entertaining. It did not lose me for a single second. Goat guy should've listened to the hermit and left the mountain while he could. Now he's ded.
8/10 game. Honestly a style I would play again.
