I had an awesome time with this! Unfortunately what kills this submission is that it just straight up does not follow the theme. Besides the joke of "a robot built to scale a mountain" and the ending, nothing supports the theme of the jam. The gameplay is fun, but the theme of scale doesn't intervene at any point. You could've had this type of gameplay in any setting, not just "scaling a mountain".
A shame really, since I would actually pay money for an expanded longer version of this kind of game.
