It's honestly not just a game, it's a life changing experience. Let me explain:

There's no feeling more intense than starting over. If you've deleted your homework the day before it was due (as I have), or if you left your wallet at home and you have to go back, after spending an hour in the commute, if you won some money at the casino and then put all your winnings on red, but it came up black, if you got your best shirt dry-cleaned before a wedding and then immediately dropped food on it, if you won an argument with a friend and then later discovered that they just returned to their original view, starting over is harder than starting up. If you're not ready for that, like if you've already had a bad day then what you're about to go through might be too much. Feel free to go away and come back. I'll be here.

Alright, thanks for coming with me on this trip.This game is a homage to a free game that came out in 2002, titled 'Sexy Hiking'. The author of the game was Jazzuo, a mysterious Czech designer who was known at the time as the father of B-games. B-games are rough assemblages of found objects. Designers slap them together very quickly and freely, and they're often too rough and unfriendly to gain much of a following. They are built more for the joy of building them than as published products. In a certain way "Sexy Hiking" is the perfect embodiment of a B-game. It's built almost entirely out of found and recycled parts, and it's one of the most unusual and unfriendly games of its time. In it, your task is simply to drag yourself up a mountain with a hammer. That act of climbing, in the digital world or real life, has certain essential properties that give the game it's flavor. No amount of forward progress is guaranteed; some cliffs are to sheer or too slippery. And the player is constantly, unremittingly in danger of falling and losing everything. Anyway when you start "Sexy Hiking", you're standing next to this dead tree, which blocks the way to the entire rest of the game. It might take you an hour to get over that tree and a lot of people never got past it. You prod and you poke at it, exploring the limits of your reach and your strength, trying to find a way up. And there's a sense of truth in that lack of compromise. Most obstacles in video game worlds are fake, you can be completely confident in your ability to get through them, once you have the correct method, or the correct equipment or just by spending enough time. In that sense, every pixelated obstacle in "Sexy Hiking" is real. The obstacles in "Sexy Hiking" are unyielding and that makes the game uniquely frustrating, but I'm not sure Jazzuo intended to make a frustrating game, the frustration is just essential to the act of climbing and it's authentic to the process of building a game about climbing.

Imaginary mountains build themselves from our efforts to climb them and it's our repeated attempts to reach the summit that turns those mountains into something real. When you're building a video game world, you're building with ideas and that can be like working with quick-set cement. You mold your ideas into a certain shape that can be played with and in the process of playing with them they begin to harden and set until they're immutable like rock and at that point you can't change the world not without breaking it into pieces and starting fresh with new ideas.

For years now people have been predicting that games would soon be made out of prefabricated objects bought in a store and assembled into a world, and for the most part that hasn't happened, because the objects and for the most part that hasn't happened because the objects in the stores are trash. And I dont mean they look bad or that they are badly made although a lot of them are, I mean they're trash in the way that food becomes trash as soon as you put it in the sink. Things are made to be used and consumed in a certain context and once the moment is gone they transform into garbage. In the context of technology those moments pass by in seconds and over time we've poured more and more refuse into this vast digital landfill that we call the internet. It now vastly outnumbers and outways the things that are fresh and untainted and unused. When everything around us is cultural trash, trash becomes the new medium, the "lingua franca" of the digital age, and you can build culture out of trash but only trash culture, B-Games, B-Movies, B-Music, B-Philosophy. Maybe this is what digital culture is, a monstrous mountain of trash, the ash heap of creativitys fountain, a landfill with everything we ever thought of in it, grant infinite and unsorted. There's 3D models of breakfats, genX's fanfic novels, scan magazines, green screen Shia LaBeouf, banned snuff scenes on Live Leak. Facebook's got lifelike Bots with unbranded adverts and candid shots of Kanye and Taylor Swift mashups, car crash epic fail GIF's, russian dashcam vids, discussions of McRibs, discarded, forgotten, unrecycled, muttled, rotten, untitled. Everythings fresh for about 6 seconds until some newer thing beckons and we hit refresh and there's years of persevering disappearing into the pile, out of style out of sight. In this context it's attempting to make friendly content that's gentle, that let's you churn though it but not earn it. Why make something demanding if just gets piled up in the landfill filed in with the bland things.

When games were new they wanted a lot from you, daunting you, taunting you, resetting and delaying you. Players played stoicly, now everyone's turned of by that, they want to burn though it quickly, a quick fix for the fickle, some tricks for the cliques of the feckless.

But on the off chance that you're playing this what I'm sying is: Trash is disposable but maybe it doesnt have to be approachable.
