About This Game

You have one task: roll a snowball up a mountain. Seems simple, right? Only problem is there's no jumping, no checkpoints, and no forgiveness.

The controls couldn't be simpler: move left and right. You'll soon find out, however, that "simple" does not mean "easy." This game will push your cognitive ability to the very limit.

Over the course of your journey, you'll be kept company by your snowball companion with thought provoking dialogue such as "Ouch." and "That hurt."

Since there are no checkpoints, it's very easy to fall back down to a previous point if you're not careful. This is what separates the player from the master: Those who are willing to get back up after falling back down.

You must believe in yourself just as your snowball friend believes in you.

Good luck!

If you have anger problems, then this game will make you blow your lid. If you're patient, however, this game will be addicting and rewarding. It's not about going left or right; it's about timing, when to stop, and when to go left or right. I've only gotten past the first part, and the game is unforgiving. When you get past an area, that means that you failed so many times that you know the area like the back of your hand. Snowbill's reactions to your failures, whether it's pain or motivation, also makes the game feel less empty. The music also slaps. Enough of the paragraph. Game's addicting. Very nice. Play it and suffer.

If you liked Getting Over It, you'll probably like this game. Translation: Brace yourself, because this ain't for the faint of heart. For context, it took me like half an hour to get past like the second screen of the game. As you may have gathered from the description, the challenges in this game aren't the kind where you beat each challenge once and immediately forget about it. Expect to go through each obstacle enough times that by the time you complete it for the last time you have a 70-90% success rate getting through it. So yeah, you're going to need to muster your best gaming skills to get anywhere in ascent. Not, like, literal platforming game experience - that'll help you precisely not at all. No, what you need is the zen-like state of mind to persist through failure, setback, and enormous challenge. If you don't have that, this game probably isn't worth the heart problems. But if you do, this game will likely be an experience you remember fondly. Timotainment's willing to h...
