I don't know what you all have ... The App costs €1,09million on the PC did I pay £1am?? And when you've done everything you can do. Still, it's a Nice Screen Saver! Anyone who feels ripped off should watch Videos on YouTube. What the Point behind this App is ... Because of 1€ so howling around. This is the App definitely Worth it!! I find it Class! I am happy to Support with a Euro!!!

I am the kind to like to test the independent games that come out (really) of the common. I can even say that I only like these games there. But frankly here there is no game. A screen saver at the limit, although I know more interactive screensavers than this stuff there.
So the gameplay is simple there are none-but to not be bored too much the developer has thought to hide us a simili-piano (I tell you not where it is, it is the only Enigma of the game) that serves no other than to let loose steam to deceive our boredom. The rest of the game is a mountain that rotates and on which one can zoom (still) and turn around, and... That's all. Not even a tamagoshi to feed anything. And from time to time we are entitled to a small English text of a common place "I love life and I enjoy this beautiful winter day" totally niais.
If still it was beautiful, but not even.
Flee.

tl;dr This is not a game, it is a mountain simulation. Do not buy this with normal conventions of gaming in mind. This is a piece of art and should be labeled as such as to not mislead the buyers with vague and conceited application descriptions as provided.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of purchasing this with expectations of 'playing' a game seeing as this app was placed under the games category.
This is not a game, this is interactive art. By no means does this fall under the category of a game.
A game, by definition, is structured playing, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. This app does not fall under this definition as this is not educational nor is it possible to 'undertake for enjoyment'.
This is by definition "interactive art", a form of art that involves the spectator in a way that allows the art to achieve its purpose.
The spectator in this game has no control over the "game" other than the ability to zoom in and out of the mountain simulation and observe the growth of the various things on the mountain.
If this had been placed under a more fitting category, or displayed a disclaimer stating that this app is not as much a game as it is art, it would have received a review more fitting to its purpose.
