User Reviews

Mountain is praised for its calming mood, soothing piano-like audio, and beautiful visuals, offering a non-traditional, contemplative experience rather than a game. It suffers from minimal interactivity, unclear goals, and recurring usability issues (restart problems, text cutoffs). Some find the polluted mountain anxiety-inducing. Several reviewers question whether the price matches the experience. Overall, it’s a tranquil art piece that resonates with some users but not with others.

Pros

Calming/relaxing atmosphere that fosters contemplation.
Soothing audio with piano interactions and gentle sound effects.
Visually appealing, artistic visuals that create a peaceful, contemplative space.
Non-traditional, artful experience rather than a conventional game, inviting existential reflection.

Cons

Lacks clear goals or traditional gameplay; marketed as a game but offers little structure.
Very limited interactivity; mostly watching rather than active play.
Restart/reset functionality is unreliable or unavailable in some cases.
UI readability issues due to device notch/screen cutoffs (text obscured on some devices).
Questionable value for money; many feel 99 cents does not justify the experience.
Pollution/junk on the mountain can cause anxiety or a depressing mood for some.

Recent reviews

Honestly, love the slow pace. It’s mindless. Fun. But please help me. My mountain has been stuck in limbo, lava mode or something and I cannot restart the game or even see the game settings anymore. I really do miss playing music to my mountain:(

Ive seen a bunch of one star reviews of people expecting more than what this “game” is supposed to be. If you’re downloading this expecting a fun game or a zen calming app, go elsewhere, maybe check out tap tap fish or something. This app is just an experience, something to make you think. Some people downloaded this without looking into what it is. My advice: Don’t spend your money on something if you’re not completely sure what it is or if you’ll even like it. Anyway, I do enjoy the sound effects and messing with the piano. As someone who likes to look and click on things, I enjoy this.

It only took me so long to realize that Mountain is an uninspired derivative of Getting Over It because by the time I stumbled upon GOI about a year ago, I had completely forgotten about this one. I played with Mountain a few times and wanted to like it, but it seemed something was missing from its attempt at existential irony. I saw its icon while paging through my games folder just now and it all made sense: why Mountain was made and why it misfires. Even as a joke, which it may well be. If you think you might like Mountain, try Getting Over It. Both are very offbeat and both are exercises in frustration and learning to live with unhappy accidents. But GOI gives you something interesting to fail to do, over and over and over again- and its commentary is much more subtle and engaging. I am still failing to win Getting Over It. but winning is not the point with either of these. GOI, though, does have a point—and a narrative arc that changes. Not by much, but it makes a tremendous difference.
