Overview
This guide is created in the first place to help new players to understand how to play this game, learn some basics, advanced and in-depth stuff, and also to start understand the flow and essence of this game. But who knows, maybe other players who are not new to this game, will find something for themselves, because I have gathered all the possible information about the game.
Basics of Basics
This game is kind of like a screensaver, you just watch how is your mountain floats in the air, that’s it.
Just relax and enjoy watching your mountain.
You can read the thoughts of the mountains that appear from time to time.
You can play music, and you can be pretty good at it.
Basics
You can speed up the time, by spamming buttons, this will change the phase of the day and night, and can also change the season. This is in case you like to watch at the mountain, and you want to change the scene a little.
Random objects will fall from time to time on the mountain, decorating the mountain (or it will make your mountain look like a dump). It depends on your own view on this, whether you like a clean mountain, or with objects.
Click on the object and it will make a sound! You can make a weird music if you have a lot of items! If you can call that music…
Also after a while armageddon can occur and destroy your mountain, after that you will have to start the game from the beginning. You can prevent armageddon by spamming keys on keyboard, this will cause the shield to appear around the mountain, and it will protect the mountain from armageddon. So this aspect of the game is kind of like “tamagotchi”. If you do not want to lose your mountain, keep an eye on it.
Advanced
You can throw away or move objects from the mountain, by that
you can clean or decorate your mountain as you want. Just move the cursor over the item, press and hold the left mouse button until the item will be pulled out, and then using your mouse put the item anywhere you like, just stop holding the button and it will drop your item back to the mountain.
If you’ll be lucky, a bomb can land on your mountain, click on it and it will blow up! Why do you need to do that? For fun of course! Well… And also for achievements.
You can blow away clouds, and change the weather. Just hold the left mouse button, and start shaking the mouse until the clouds are blown away.
You can force your mountain to say some thoughts. Just press the “.” keyboard button.
If you’re lucky, the gramophone could fall on your mountain. Сlick on it, and it will start a song!
In-Depth Stuff
You can also decorate your mountain with unusual weather (rain of hearts, rain of coins, rain of fire, rain of blood, and etc) by playing some special songs/codes.
You can play some special songs that works like codes, it will make the game a little more fun and interesting. It also really helps to get the achievements.
You can use a special song/code that will cause objects to fall on your mountain at a very fast rate.
You can use a special song/code that will allow you to see the mountain statistics. Like: How many days is your mountain exist, how many trees it has, and etc.
You can use a special song/code that will unlock more musical notes on your keyboard! Now you can play even more songs!
If you left the game or PC for a while, and when you came you saw that your mountain was annihilated, do not worry, you can still resurrect your mountain from the dead! Instead of pressing the “restart” button, just press on your keyboard Alt+F4 and this will close your game, after that just open your game again, and the game will be loaded form the last save, and voila, your mountain is alive!
Why do I need to draw at the beginning of the game? Does it somehow affect the game?
It works like a game seed, it affects the appearance of your mountain.
It’s also possible that this can affect other details in the game, for example: Which items falls and how often it happens, but I’m not sure about this.
