Spearmint Mountain

It was a cold and dark night at Spearmint Mountain.

A most powerful storm was raging. The worst storm of the century.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck the sacred mint at the summit.

Find out what happens next, in Spearmint Mountain!

Spearmint Mountain is a short but sweet action platformer, where you take control of a sentient piece of mint that's fallen off the big, sacred Mint. Pick up spear plants, and poke them at enemies or they'll crush you! Throw the spears at walls to create platforms, and bounce off of them to reach new heights!

There are also collectible mint coins hidden in difficult-to-reach locations. How many can you find?
