Nice game, the demo is good! I hope to see some of the story next time I try your game:

Thanks for playing our game. Hope you get to see the next parts.

posting again because my review was lengthy, here is my playthrough. PLAY. THIS. GAME. NOW. 

WOW. This game. I’m going to give my honest review.

Do I think Into the Mountain is worth playing or checking out? Absolutely.
Do I think it needs some work? Of course.

While playing Into the Mountain, I found myself completely pulled into the gameplay and immersion. I loved the idea of starting the game as a 2D platformer; however, I do feel that some of the early levels were a bit too long and challenging. The game eventually shifts into a 3D experience, but at times it felt like the overall pacing leaned too heavily on the 2D platforming. With some tweaking to the opening, I think the story could flow more smoothly. It’s a wonderful concept that could be executed just a bit better.

Once the game transitions into its 3D storytelling, I found it incredibly intriguing and captivating. I really enjoyed the coming-of-age elements and the themes explored through the eyes of a 12-year-old scout. That part of the story genuinely stood out to me.

Without getting into spoilers, I also want to say that I loved the interactive elements you discover while exploring the mountain. That aspect was especially cool and added a lot to the experience.

Overall, I can’t wait to see the full release and future improvements. Huge thanks to the developer for reaching out and allowing me to play—I had a ton of fun.

And let me say it one more time:
PLAY. THIS. GAME.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review, it really brings a smile to us. We will work on the 2D part for the final release and make the pacing and difficulty better. 

Music is good, I think its very cool! Just a lil challenging with some of the levels.

Thank you for playing :D, we will look on tuning the levels a bit.
