Surmount: A Mountain Climbing Adventure

About

Surmount is a physics-driven platformer where you scale Mount Om's treacherous terrain using momentum and precise timing. Navigate handcrafted levels and random procedurally generated sections by grappling, leaping, and sliding across rock faces. Play solo or team up with a friend to tackle vertical challenges, adjusting your route on the fly as the mountain shifts. Customize gear and climbing styles to suit your approach, with upgrades that open new paths and strategies as you climb higher. The game's charm comes from its offbeat characters and absurd dialogue that contrasts with the intense climbing action. Released on May 2, 2024, it runs on PC Windows, Mac, and Switch. While the core loop of climbing and adapting is tight, the story's randomness might polarize players. Those who appreciate creative level design and cooperative play may find it refreshing despite a few polish issues.
