About To Clean The Mountain
To Clean The Mountain is a single-player adventure platformer developed by Yinz Studio and released on PC in January 2026. The game tasks you with ascending a mystical peak while aiding its spirit through handcrafted levels inspired by real-world mountain ranges. Each environment, ranging from icy cliffs to volcanic slopes, introduces new mechanics tied to climbing, physics, and environmental puzzles. The mountain itself evolves based on your progress, altering terrain and obstacles dynamically. This indie title leans into creative problem-solving and responsive platforming, with a focus on player choice impacting the climb’s difficulty. It’s a compact but challenging experience designed for fans of vertical worlds and puzzle-driven gameplay.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time climbing, jumping, and manipulating objects to reach higher elevations. The core loop involves navigating terrain that shifts based on your actions, like melting ice to create paths or placing weights to balance bridges. Each level introduces a new gimmick, such as magnetism, wind resistance, or timed collapses. Controls are tight but demand precision, with momentum and physics playing a big role in success. You’ll often backtrack to access hidden upgrades, which alter earlier levels. The mountain spirit offers cryptic dialogue, but actual story beats are sparse. Sessions typically last 20, 30 minutes per level, with retries common due to the game’s unforgiving difficulty spikes.
What Players Think
PlayPile players rate it 4.2/5 stars, with 72% completing the base story and 45% achieving all optional upgrades. Average playtime is 5.8 hours, though completionists report up to 12. Critic scores average 78/100, praising creativity but noting repetitive art styles. Community moods are mostly focused (68%) and determined (24%), with some frustration (8%) over unclear puzzle logic. User reviews highlight “addictive but punishing physics” and “levels that feel like Rube Goldberg machines.” The game’s 100 total achievements include 50 for base completion and 50 for optional challenges, with 80% of players earning at least 20.
PlayPile's Take
To Clean The Mountain is a $29.99 pick for platformer purists who enjoy vertical challenges and environmental puzzles. The dynamic world design keeps things fresh, but the high difficulty may test patience, especially in later levels. It’s not for casual players, replayability hinges on chasing 100% completion. If you like physics-based puzzles and don’t mind frequent deaths, it’s a solid $30 buy. Skip it if you prefer linear, story-driven adventures or want something casual.
