Thanks for the feedback!
I definitely should've done a bit more in terms of communicating what to do, as that seems to be a theme among all these reviews, i'll see if i can fix the communication issue in a V2 patch after the jam
The goal is really just "climb the mountain" which is self-explanatory, so there's not much I can do to make it more clear, but I see what you mean.
Once again, thank you for the detailed feedback!
