Overview
Mountain 78 is a challenging precision platformer that tests your resolve and reflexes. Inspired by the 'foddian' genre and other difficult games where failure is a core mechanic, this title focuses on a simple yet demanding climb. Players must ascend a treacherous mountain using only three jumps at a time, where a single misstep can send them plummeting back to the start. The game's title itself is a nod to the Japanese proverb 'Fall seven times, stand up eight' (七転び八起き, Nanakorobi yaoki), encouraging players to persevere through repeated setbacks.

- Permadeath Challenge: Embrace the unforgiving nature of the climb; one mistake means starting over, reinforcing the game's philosophical undertones.
