The lift didn't come back to the mountain station last night. Let's use this opportunity to journey  down the mountain along a winding trail, enjoying the handcrafted sights and keeping an eye out for the animals calling this mountain their home. You have your camera with you, so have a fun and relaxing day exploring!


Where's the difference between the two versions? I polished up the project quite a bit in the non-jam version. Working on Down the Mountain had been an absolute blast and I wanted to use some more time to rework some areas, add a few more, hide way more animals and bugfix a couple of things. Also, I optimized the non-jam version a little.

Looks beautiful, great job on the environment!

Thank you so much!

Seems pretty neat, I'll have to give it a play when I get a chance, added to collection for now.

Hope you will enjoy it =)!

What a fun game, a beautiful mountain with lots of ups and downs, various environments and plants!
And the people and animals there, who are made of "irasutoya" materials. To be honest, before I started playing, I thought that the "Irastoya" pictures were a bit of a mismatch (especially for Japanese, whose daily lives are filled with Irastoya materials), but when I actually played the game, I was surprised at how well they matched the game and how interesting it was.
It was a very enjoyable playing experience!

Thank you so much for playing it! I'm slowly watching your video and thank you so much for all the praise 💛 It's amazing watching people play and enjoy my game, and now even from the other side of the world? This is so far beyond what I had hoped for. Great video 💛!

Made a video

Hah, awesome :D! Thank you for making a video about it! Your search for the beavers had me chuckling, you managed to always look right past them :D! They are actually very, very close to the person asking you to take a photo. But it looks like you enjoyed your hike 💛

Felt like the beavers where close but got distracted by the rest of the world so guess that person will never get that photo now. Yeah we had a good time hiking down the mountain and finding all the random things to take pictures of sometimes confusing the camera along the way.

Your game starts at 07:52. This was fantastic. There is so much to find and it was so creative. All the seasons being represented in an area was a great way to show your take on them all. The underwater bones was Lil Biscuit's favorite discovery. Having people to talk to was a smart yet subtle way to give optional quests and move us in a direction to see more of the world. We really appreciate not having fall damage which made getting around easy and not having the experience halted by a game over screen. Also walking on the frozen water was much more fun then dealing with falling in or having to walk around the lakes. Being able to jump video game style to get around was helpful too. The animals and people looking like 2D drawings was an cool artistic direction and added to the storybook feel. Our only issue was the camera would wrongly identify animals but that's so minor. Everything ran smoothly and controlled well. We know there is more to find and we showed the highlights of what we did. Keep up the good work! 

This is so awesome, thank you for the video and feedback! I enjoyed watching you guys play a lot and took a couple notes for a patch ;) Hope you two will go on many more great adventures together!
