The Mountain (StaySafeJam 2020)

Created by Luca Baumgart for the StaySafe GameJam 2020.

There is a small glitch in the game which makes a latter part of the game unplayable on some devices. This, and only this has been patched in the web release after some feedback:

Climbing THE MOUNTAIN is a big task - too big for just one person. Two unlikely friends must run, jump and swing to the top in this grappling-platformer created in 48 hours.

Tested on

Thank you so much for playing!
Special thanks to my family for coming up with ideas and playtesting, as well as Yuna and Celia for ideas. There are currently no options or sound, but after the Jam is complete I will release a quality-of-life update. All Assets have been created by me in 24 Hours, except for the background graphic which was released under Public Domain on opengameart.org.

Known Bugs:
Sometimes, when returning the second player, he can glitch out and fly just somewhere. Try returning him or restart from the last checkpoint. I couldn't figure it out in time but I think it has something to do with the hit detection of triggers so I'll try to fix it up soon.

The Game is finishable from beginning to end! There might even be some shortcuts, too...
