Mount Your Friends - A stimulated... I mean simulated sporting sensation

Game Type : Action, Sports, Arcade
Developer : Stegersaurus Games
Game Info Quote : Experience the extreme simulated sporting sensation that's sweeping our digital nation! Mount Your Friends is a fiercely competitive sporting event for you to play with your friends in the contextual security of your own couch, assuming that your couch is not composed of sexual innuendo. If it is, I would suggest buying a new couch or at least getting the current one cleaned professionally. More specifically, Mount Your Friends is a physics based competitive climbing game where what you climb is each other. Each player takes a turn climbing to the top of a tower of previous climbers (and a goat) trying to make the new highest point before time runs out. If someone runs out of time before reaching the top, they're eliminated. This is a game that is simple to get into, but the more you play it, the more nuanced your strategies become. Adept competitors can create massive towers by flinging themselves faster than simple climbing methods can attain. Of course, there's also the humor of seeing your ragdoll climbers fall all the way down a tower!
Release : Out now on Xbox Live, but for PC Steam Greenlight only so far
Systems : Xbox, PC(TBA)
