In a way, this game is like the big brother I never had. And so today, in a moment of clarity, I have finally gotten past the first major obstacle and I am looking forward to continuing the climb.

You can build up momentum by moving your finger faster, but you tend to lose accuracy. On top of that, the game has a narrator who says stuff and plays sad music from time to time, especially when you’re doing poorly.(more)

His only means of locomotion is a sledge hammer which he uses to bounce, push and climb along the obstacles piled up in front of him. On the iPad, the avatar is moved by controls that seem to work illogically, inconsistently, and without a strict reliance on real world physics. (more)

I’d then go back to it and try some more, the frustration disappeared and it just became a pastime, like doodling.

The game consists of your avatar, a shirtless man who, for some reason, is wedged into a cauldron. (more)

Every time I would wind up at the beginning, I would try to climb the mountain again and again… only to wind up back at the bottom. I would then stop and get on with my life, not touching it for months at a time. (more)

I used to get so frustrated because I could barely advance to the first obstacle, much less get past it. But as time passed, I became immune to its taunts and I just kept trying. (more)
