Perhaps the title Mount Your Friends might have given off a goofy vibe, but one really has to see it in person. This is a game for those with a sense of humor who find anything to do with penises funny. Beyond that, it’s always fun to see another player screw up by disengaging all limbs and plummet to their doom. For example, one or more players might decide to build their tower of men at odd angles, making it tougher for the next player to surpass.

When other parties are involved you’ll see a whole variety of strategies used to try and stop others from reaching the top.

Although it’s still fun, the most enjoyable way to play is with friends. In single player mode, you simply just keep trying to climb in 60 second intervals before finally failing. Each turn-based move is timed and players who cannot surpass a previous highest climb are kicked out. The original mode is probably the most popular and simply has characters climbing on top of each other to see how high they can go. As such, it’s probably the best idea to skip keyboard controls unless there’s no other option available.Ĭlimbing is your main goal throughout a huge amount of single and multiplayer modes.

Smashing on controller buttons isn’t so difficult but trying to weasel fingers around on four keyboard keys is more stressful overall. Although keyboard and mouse controls are serviceable, they seem fairly alien. Once a button is let go, it will “grab” a surface if one is near enough to stick to.Ĭontrols seem to work best on a gamepad and that makes sense considering the game first launched on Xbox 360. Mouse and keyboard players move the mouse around for a similar effect. On controller, you tilt the analog stick in whichever direction the limb should move. Each arm and leg is tied to either a face button on a gamepad or WASD for keyboards. Players have direct control over each limb. The basic controls are always the same no matter what mode is played. Is it worth buying on PC, especially when the price has gone up a few bucks in the transition?įirst off, it’s probably best to gauge if you enjoyed QWOP because Mount Your Friends is similar in a few respects. That game is none other than Mount Your Friends which has finally made its Steam debut. Are you a fan of games with purposefully awkward control schemes such as QWOP and Surgeon Simulator 2013? If so, it might surprise you to hear that there was an equally (if not more so) ridiculous game flopping about on the Xbox Live Indie Games Marketplace in 2013.
