I'm impressed with the intro and UI! Hero 10/10 good boy, very cute. Fun game, but I would appreciate a "congrats" popup for reaching the top of the mountain.

I was originally planning to have a story added to it where it's about a girl and her dog. Scaling all the metaphorical turmoils of life but having her dog always there to greet her with a smile and a wag of his tail. I was going to have a sequence where the dog dies, but she has a dream of one more mountain to climb. After reaching the top she is greeted with her dog, whom of which she has one more time to interact with him and say goodby. It would of ended with Hero going through the clouds into fields of green and the girl waking up and knowing he is in a better place.
