David O’Reilly’s Mountain ($0.99) is an interesting… thing. We posted about it when we first heard about the “mountain simulator" coming to the App Store, and our forums are filled with people who don’t get it, people who are trying to get it, and people who are flat out mad at its existence.
Similarly, the game has been the target of several editorials, such as Leigh Alexander who argues there being nothing to do is a good thing while Ben Kuchera feels like he’s been trolled. Personally? I’m just happy to say I’ve finally done a 24 hour stream marathon of anything. It’s a merit badge I figured I wasn’t hardcore enough to ever earn.
Anyway, here’s my mountain, 24 hours in, absolutely littered in junk, streaming live for as long as I feel like streaming it. Possibly forever.
